The patent application describes a method for drying a printing substrate and/or a printing medium located thereon in a printing machine with at least one first and one second microwave applicator, the second microwave applicator being arranged, viewed in transport direction of the printing substrate, downstream of and adjacent to the first microwave applicator. The method comprises the steps of transporting the printing substrate past the first and the second microwave applicators, introducing microwaves into the printing substrate and the printing medium by means of the first microwave applicator, detecting the microwave power not absorbed by the printing substrate and the printing medium, and introducing microwaves into the printing substrate and the printing medium by means of the second microwave applicator, with the microwave power made available by the second microwave applicator being controlled as a function of the microwave power of the first microwave applicator that was not absorbed by the printing substrate and the printing medium. The method is particularly suitable for multi-color printing. Further described is a printing machine comprising at least one printing unit for applying a moist printing medium to a printing substrate, at least one drying unit for drying the printing medium and/or the printing substrate, and at least one transport unit for successively transporting the printing substrate through the at least one printing unit and the drying unit. The drying unit comprises a first and a second microwave applicator, said second microwave applicator being arranged, viewed in transport direction of the printing substrate, downstream of and adjacent to the first microwave applicator, and also comprises a first sensor unit in the region of the first microwave applicator for detecting the microwave power not absorbed by the printing substrate and the printing medium, and a control unit which communicates with said sensor unit in order to control the second microwave applicator on the basis of an output signal of said sensor unit.

A method and apparatus for fusing a heat curable toner to a carrier sheet having said toner thereon. In the method, the toner is sandwiched between said carrier sheet and a movable fuser belt and heated to a first temperature by a first means, which first temperature is above a first glass transformation temperature of the toner. The toner is kept at an elevated temperature for a predetermined time by a second means, which elevated temperature is above the first glass transformation temperature, thereby raising the glass transformation temperature of the toner to a second glass transformation temperature. The apparatus has at least a first endless fuser belt, first heating means for heating the toner to a first temperature, second heating means located downstream of said first heating means for keeping the toner at an elevated temperature for a predetermined time and control means for controlling the first and second heating means.

A developing device for transferring toner particles to a photoconductor comprises a container for holding a developer of non-magnetic toner particles and hard magnetic carrier particles, a first developer roller which is at least partially arranged in said container and features a non-magnetic jacket tube and a magnetic core, the jacket tube and the magnetic core each being arranged so as to be rotatable about corresponding rotational axes, and at least a second developer roller which is arranged adjacent to the first developer roller in such a manner that carrier particles with toner particles adhering to them and being carried along by rotation of the first developer roller, contact the second developer roller in order to transfer the toner particles in a contacting manner to the second developer roller, said second developer roller being supported so as to be rotatable about a corresponding rotational axis. There are provided at least one drive unit for rotating the jacket tube, the magnetic core and the second developer roller, each about its respective rotational axis, as well as means for generating an alternating voltage field adjacent to the second developer roller in the region of an adjacent photoconductor. In a method for generating a toner image on a photoconductor, a charge image is first formed on the photoconductor and, subsequently, toner is applied, correspondingly to the charge image, to the photoconductor by way of a developing device. When the toner is being applied, the toner particles are triboelectrically charged in a developer of non-magnetic toner particles and hard magnetic carrier particles, the carrier particles with toner particles adhering to them are brought into contact with and transported by a first developer roller comprising a rotating non-magnetic jacket tube and a magnetic core rotating inside said jacket tube, the toner particles are transferred to a second developer roller arranged adjacent to the first developer roller and rotated in such a manner that carrier particles with the toner particles adhering to them contact the second developer roller, the photoconductor is moved at a prespecified distance along the rotating second developer roller, an alternating voltage field is generated in the region between the second developer roller and the photoconductor in order to generate via this means a cloud of toner particles in this region, and the toner particles are attracted to the photoconductor corresponding to the charge image.

A method for turning or laterally shifting a web in a printing machine includes guiding the web successively around four rollers. Roller 2 is rotated with respect to roller 1 by about 90°, so that a strand of the web extending between the first and second rollers performs a first twist by about 90°. Rollers 1 and 3 are substantially parallel so that the strand of the web extending between the second and third rollers is straight. Roller 4 is rotated with respect to roller 3 by about 90°, so that a strand of the web extending between rollers 3 and 4 performs a second twist by about 90°.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus of fixing a heat curable toner to a carrier substrate are shown. In the method, a toner applied to a first surface of the carrier substrate is heated above the glass transition temperature of the toner by microwave radiation, using at least one microwave applicator as a first heat source, to thereby initiate thermal cross-linking of polymer chains of said toner. The temperature is kept above the glass transition temperature of the toner for a predetermined time of at least one second, by applying heat to the toner by means of at least one non-contact second heat source, to thereby allow the thermal cross-linking to proceed further and to thereby raise the glass transition temperature of the toner. The apparatus has at least one microwave applicator forming a first heat source, at least one second heat source for heating the toner and/or the carrier substrate, at least one transport mechanism for contacting the carrier substrate on a second side thereof and for transporting the carrier substrate in sequence along the first and second heat sources and at least one controller for controlling the first heat source, the second heat source and/or the transport mechanism such that toner on a first side of the carrier substrate is heated above its glass transition temperature and kept at a temperature above the glass transition temperature for at least one second.
