摘要:
The image fixing device includes a fixing roller pair by which a recording medium having an image formed thereon is nipped and conveyed to fix the image, and a gripping/conveying unit which includes a gripping portion for gripping a leading edge of the recording medium and which conveys the recording medium between two fixing rollers while gripping the leading edge of the recording medium. In this device, at least one of the two fixing rollers of the fixing roller pair has a recess receiving the gripping portion, and is set such that when the leading edge of the recording medium gripped by the gripping portion is nipped between the two fixing rollers, the gripping portion is received by the recess. Alternatively, the device includes a roller moving unit for moving at least one of the two fixing rollers. The roller moving unit brings the two rollers of the fixing roller pair out of contact with each other before the gripping portion gripping the leading edge of the recording medium passes between the fixing rollers, and brings the fixing rollers into contact with each other after the gripping portion has passed between the fixing rollers.

A printing plate mounting apparatus (10) mounts a printing plate (70) to a plate cylinder (61). The plate cylinder (61) has a plate head clamping mechanism (62) having upper and lower jaws (62a, 62b) to position and secure a plate head of a flexible printing plate. In the apparatus (10), a guide member (11, 111) is provided for guiding the flexible printing plate (70) to the plate head clamping mechanism (62). The guide member (11, 111) guides the flexible printing plate (70) so that, at least between the guide member (11, 111) and the plate head clamping mechanism (62), the flexible printing plate (70) is bent toward the plate cylinder (61), or is substantially parallel to the upper face of the lower jaw of the plate head clamping mechanism (62).

There are provided a fixing device which includes a first transport path for transporting a recording medium with an image formed thereon and a fixing roll pair having at least one heating roll; and an image forming apparatus including the fixing device. The recording medium transported from the first transport path is nipped and transported to fix the image. The fixing roll pair is placed so that a rotation axis thereof is parallel to a transport surface of the first transport path and tilts with respect to a transport direction of the recording medium in the first transport path. Localized wear of a fixing roll surface caused by edges of a recording medium can be suppressed without limiting the kind of the recording medium used.

An ink furnishing apparatus comprises an ink fountain storing ink, an ink furnishing roller engaged with the ink fountain, withdrawing the ink in the ink fountain by rotations thereof and furnishing the ink to a printing plate, and an ink contacting member formed at substantially an entire length of the ink fountain in a width direction thereof and contactable with the ink in the ink fountain.
摘要:
A printing method for performing a lithographic printing in multiple colors by use of a flexible plate material. In particular, a series of engaging holes, while being aligned in the transporting direction of the plate material, are formed for every color in the plate material, and a series of protruded pieces to be inserted into the engaging holes of the plate material, while being aligned in the circumferential direction of each plate cylinder, are formed on the outer peripheral surface of each of the plate cylinders provided for the respective colors, so as to satisfy the following relation: 2D≦P≦4.06×103×D/W where Pmm: pitch of the series of engaging holes (protruded pieces) Dmm: diameter of each protruded piece Wmm: width of the printing plate. The plate material is attached to the plate cylinder by applying the engaging holes of the plate material to the protruded pieces of each plate cylinder, and printing is carried out. Accordingly, a printing method according to the present invention enables a plate material to be reliably held by a plate cylinder while preventing a color misregistration.
摘要:
A printing machine such as a rotary offset press includes a printed material monitoring apparatus comprising sensor units for detecting light reflected from a number of unit pixel domains which are divided in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which a print surface of a printed material flows, optical fiber units for transmitting light reflected from the unit pixel domains to the sensor units and a signal processing unit for processing signals transmitted from the sensor units. The sensor units comprise detection sensors each being equipped with a plurality of light reception elements corresponding to the unit pixel domains respectively. The light reception elements are arranged in a plurality of rows of a fixed amount in a direction in which the print surface of the printed material flows to form groups of fixed amount of rows in which the light reception elements are arranged. The signal processing unit comprises analog multiplexer for multiplexing analog information detected by each of the light reception elements in the groups in which the rows of the light reception elements are arranged and digital multiplexer for further digitizing and multiplexing the multiplexed analog information transmitted from each of the groups of the light reception elements.
