A method for applying printing ink to a printing material, includes producing ink-conducting and ink-repelling areas on an at least approximately flat surface. A plurality of areas with defined color acceptor properties are provided to produce the ink-conducting areas on the surface. The surface is brought into contact with color particles, including a subgroup of dyes, pigments, colored molecules or colored particles. At least one of the subgroups colored molecules and pigments has surface acceptor properties corresponding to the color acceptor properties of the areas. The at least one subgroup colored molecules and pigments is deposited on the areas of defined color acceptor properties of the surface corresponding to the surface acceptor property. The at least one deposited subgroup colored molecules and pigments is transferred from the surface to a printing material. A printing form, an inking unit and a printing machine are also provided.
A method for applying printing ink to a printing material, which comprises producing ink-conducting and ink-repelling areas on an at least approximately flat surface;
A printing form, comprising an at least approximately flat surface, and ink-conducting and ink-repelling areas, said ink-conducting areas having a respective defined color acceptor property, for binding a color particle having a surface acceptor property corresponding to the defined color acceptor property.
An inking unit, comprising at least one printing form having an at least approximately flat surface and ink-conducting and ink-repelling areas, said ink-conducting areas on said printing form having a respective defined color acceptor property, for binding a color particle having a surface acceptor property corresponding to the defined color acceptor property.
A printing machine, comprising at least one inking unit having at least one printing form with an at least approximately flat surface and ink-conducting and ink-repelling areas, said ink-conducting areas on said printing form having a respective defined color acceptor property, for binding a color particle having a surface acceptor property corresponding to the defined color acceptor property.
