摘要:
A printhead subsystem is disclosed for selectively removing portions of a layer (32) of dampening fluid disposed over an arbitrarily reimageable surface (12) in a variable data lithographic system. The subsystem comprises a thermal printhead element (40) disposed proximate the arbitrarily reimageable surface (12), and driving circuitry (38) communicatively connected to the thermal printhead for selectively temporarily heating the thermal printhead to an elevated temperature. Portions of the dampening fluid layer (32) proximate the thermal printhead (40) are vaporized and driven off the arbitrarily reimageable surface by the thermal printhead when the thermal printhead is at the elevated temperature, to thereby form voids in the dampening fluid layer.
摘要:
A compiling unit for a printing system includes a collection tray (124) and a variable-speed compiling system (126) adapted to operate at at least two speeds to thereby receive a sheet of media at a higher speed and register the sheet of media within the collection tray at a lower speed. A control system (108) is adapted to selectively operate the variable-speed compiling system at the at least two speeds. A printing system (100) having a sheet media source, at least one marking engine, such a compiling unit and such a control system is included. A method of compiling sheet media is also included.

This disclosure provides a print media rotary transport apparatus and method of operation. The print media transport apparatus comprises a print media rotary path (172,176) and a print media rotary bypass path (164,166,168), wherein the print media rotary path rotates a print media sheet about an axis orthogonal to the print media sheet.
