摘要:
A method and apparatus for printing ceramic or glass flat substrate, wherein a fusible powder is applied to an image forming medium in order to form an image thereon which is transferred to an intermediate medium, and the powder image formed on the intermediate medium is brought into contact with the substrate in a contact zone, the ceramic or glass substrate being heated in a pre-heating device before the contact zone to a temperature of at least 60.degree. C., and wherein the intermediate medium in the contact zone is heated to a temperature of at least 100.degree. C.

A dryer unit which is integrated as a module into a printed material guide system of a printing machine in order to facilitate two-sided drying of printed material is provided. The printed material guide system includes a guide surface which has a plurality of openings and an air system which is selectively operable in positive or negative pressure modes to assist the guiding of the printed material. The dryer module is arranged in an opening in the guide surface such that it heats at least one side of the printed material. At least one outlet opening is associated with the dryer module. The outlet opening is open into the plane of the guide surface and is coupled to a cooling system which is operable to provide cooling air to the dryer module.

An adaptation of a commercially-available printer designed for use with cellulose-based print media is described which transforms the commercially-available printer into a printer that can print on silica-based print media. The printer has an increased heat differential between fuser rollers which are lined with a substantially non-porous elastomeric material to increase release characteristics. The fuser oil assembly is also adapted so as to substantially increase an amount of oil deposited onto the fuser rollers, thereby further increasing release characteristics of the fuser rollers and decreasing adhesion to the silica-based print media.

An imprint apparatus forms a pattern of an imprint material on a substrate by using a mold. A substrate holding unit holds the substrate by a suction force between the substrate and a holding surface and includes a first suction unit for sucking a rear surface of a first region of the substrate with a first suction force and a second suction unit for sucking a rear surface of a second region of the substrate with a second suction force. A deformation mechanism deforms a shape of the first region in a direction along the holding surface when forming the pattern of the imprint material on the first region. An adjusting unit adjusts the first and second suction forces. The first suction force is less than the second in at least a portion of a period during the deforming of the shape of the first region by the deformation mechanism.

A method for operating a web printing press is provided. The method includes unwinding a substrate from a roll to define a web; during makeready, printing the web using at least one print unit, the makeready ending when the web is being printed to a desired standard; stopping the web after the makeready; rewinding the web so that the substrate printed during the make ready pass back through the print unit; and unwinding again the rewound substrate to pass through the print unit. A press and printed product are also provided.

Systems and methods are provided for balancing air flow in dryers of printing systems. The dryer includes a heating element, top flow generator, and bottom flow generator. The heating element is within the dryer, and heats a web of printed media. The top flow generator directly projects a first jet of gas onto a top side of the web. The first jet of gas deflects air proximate to the web. The bottom flow generator directly projects a second jet of gas onto an opposing side of the web. The second jet strikes the web at substantially the same location as the first jet, and compensates orthogonal force applied to the web by the first jet. Furthermore, the top and bottom flow generators are both oriented to project the jets partially in the direction of travel of the web.
摘要:
An imprint (18) that represents a predefined pattern on an article. Article (10) comprises a body (12) made of a first material with a first thermal expansion coefficient (C1). The method comprises a step of incorporating a piece (22) in body (12) made of a second material with a second thermal expansion coefficient (C2), lower than the first coefficient, a step of heating article (10) to a predefined temperature to induce expansion of the materials, and then a step of cooling article (10) to induce shrinkage of the materials, generating a mechanicals stress that deforms article (10). Piece (22) is shaped so that the deformation generated corresponds to predefined pattern (20).

A digital cliché pad printing system includes a conveyor for conveying a substantially non-elastic support medium, a material deposition jetting device for depositing a curable material onto the support in a desired pattern, the desired pattern having at least one void space, means for curing the material in the desired pattern, the cured material defining a cliché having a top surface, an ink delivery system for depositing ink in the at least one void space and for wiping ink from the top surface and a pad configured to contact the cliché to transfer ink from the void space to the pad the pad also configured to move into contact with an object to which the ink is transferred. A digital cliché media and method are also disclosed.
摘要:
A printing and drying method comprising laying a support sheet 20 elongated in the long direction so as to bridge both a printing zone 42 and a drying zone 44, in the printing zone 42, giving the support sheet 20 a first tension F1, in that state, printing the support sheet 20 with predetermined patterns, then feeding the support sheet 20 toward the drying zone 44, in the drying zone 44, giving the support sheet 20 on which the predetermined patterns were printed a second tension F2, and in that state, drying it in a drying chamber 62. The first tension F1 and the second tension F2 are given by separate tension giving means, and the second tension F2 is tension given along the support sheet 20 in the long direction and able to prevent shrinkage of the support sheet 20 in the long direction while passing through the drying zone 44.
