A device for printing on hollow bodies has a plurality of printing units each having a printing cylinder. At least one of the printing units has an inking unit having a chambered doctor blade that provides printing ink. The chambered doctor blade system has at least one ink pan and a doctor blade holder in a single assembly. The single assembly of the chambered doctor blade system is retained in the inking unit only on one side. The assembly of the chambered doctor blade system forms a cantilever arm on a side frame of the inking unit. The assembly of the chambered doctor blade system can be moved axially parallel to the anilox roller and can be removed from the inking unit by that movement.

A method for printing on a curved surface and a printed curved surface body using the method. The method includes the steps of: applying printing ink having a viscosity of 5-500 PaS, preferably 5-250 PaS, to a protrusion portion of a relief printing master plate 3 which is a flat plate with the protrusion portion 0.1-50 μm high, preferably 0.1-25 μm high in height h; pressing a rubber or rubbery roll-like elastic blanket 2 having an elastic portion whose thickness T has a relation of 2H≦T≦8H with respect to a level difference H of a to-be-printed curved surface body 10 and which has a hardness (JIS A-scale) of 3-40, preferably 3-20, onto the relief printing master plate 3 supplied with the printing ink while applying constant pressure to the roll-like elastic blanket 2 and smoothly rotating the roll-like elastic blanket 2, so as to transfer the printing ink to an outer circumferential surface of the roll-like elastic blanket 2; and moving the roll-like elastic blanket 2 having the printing ink transferred thereto, and bringing the roll-like elastic blanket 2 into rotational pressure contact with a surface of the to-be-printed curved surface body 10 so as to perform printing thereon.

A printing unit system produces multi-color printing employing a single plate cylinder of a first diameter and a pair of blanket cylinders of a second diameter one-half that of the plate cylinder. The blanket cylinders impact associated impression cylinders, also of the second diameter, at the paper path and, in one embodiment, the two impression cylinders mate with a transfer cylinder. By using blanket and impression cylinders having portions with different diameter, multi-color, superimposed images are printed, two colors at a time. The images for the various colors are produced on a single film under computer control for creation of plates for mounting on the plate cylinder and are not adjustable with respect to one another.

The web-fed printing machine preferably intended for the printing of banknotes has two closely adjacent impression cylinders (2, 3), each of which interacts with several blanket cylinders (4, 6). Each blanket cylinder (4, 6) is inked by a plate cylinder (5, 7) which receives its ink from its own inking unit (9, 9'; 11, 11'). The paper web (P) runs between the respective impression cylinder (2, 3) and blanket cylinders (4, 6), partially looping first round one impression cylinder (2) and then in the opposite direction round the other impression cylinder (3), so that the two sides of the paper are successively printed directly with the individual colors. All the blanket and plate cylinders interacting with an impression cylinder (2, 3) are arranged on a respective common exchangeable machine stand (15, 16). Consequently, in order to exchange the blanket and plate cylinders for cylinders of a different diameter for the purpose of changing the printing format, the machine stands (15, 16) equipped with corresponding cylinders are exchanged as a whole.

A series-produced sheet-fed offset rotary press having drum transfer systems in which sheet conveyance is carried out entirely through mechanical gripper transfers from a first impression cylinder to a transfer cylinder, then successively to a double-size transfer drum, then to a turning cylinder and then to a second impression cylinder and which are selectively engageable for multi-color printing on one side or alternately for perfecting printing and wherein, to change over sheet movement between these two operational modes the double-size transfer drum is selectively movable into one of two positions and is variable in its direction of rotation, the double-size transfer drum being engageable, in the first position and first direction of rotation and with the transfer cylinder disengaged, with two double-size impression cylinders for one-sided multi-color printing; while, in a second position and in the second direction of rotation, for perfecting, the double-size transfer drum can be lowered into engagement with the turning cylinder and the previously disengaged transfer cylinder can be lowered into engagement with the first double-size impression cylinder and with the double-size transfer drum; and wherein the distance between the impression cylinders is less than the diameter of the double-size transfer drum.

The machine can print on both sides of the paper either an image with juxtaposed color by means of a typographic plate inked respectively by a collecting cylinder inked in turn by selective color inking cylinders of which the number corresponds to the number of colors, or an image with superposed colors and designs by means of the plate cylinders substituted for the selective color inking cylinders and provided with printing plates inking a corresponding offset cylinder and of which the number corresponds to the number of colors and designs, or an image of each above-mentioned type. For this purpose the machine comprises a first pair of blanket cylinders operating either as collecting cylinders each adapted to ink a cylinder carrying said typographic plate of which the image is transferred via an intermediate cylinder to another blanket cylinder of a second pair on the paper, or as offset cylinders contacting said other blanket cylinder, or operating one as collecting cylinder and the other as an offset cylinder. In all cases, the paper passes between the blanket cylinders of the second pair. The multicolor printing on both sides may be completed by a monochrome wet offset printing.
摘要:
A retractable in-line inking/coating apparatus can apply either spot or overall inking/coating material to a plate and/or a blanket on the first printing unit or on any consecutive printing unit of any rotary offset printing press. The inking/coating apparatus is pivotally mounted within the conventional dampener space of any lithographic printing unit. The aqueous component of the flexographic printing ink or aqueous coating material is evaporated and dried by high velocity, hot air dryers and high performance heat and moisture extractors so that the aqueous or flexographic ink or coating material on a freshly printed or coated sheet is dry and can be dry-trapped on the next printing unit. The inking/coating apparatus includes dual cradles that support first and second applicator rollers so that the inking/coating apparatus can apply a double bump of aqueous/flexographic or UV-curable printing ink or coating material to a plate on the plate cylinder, while simultaneously applying aqueous, flexographic or UV-curable printing ink or coating material to a plate or a blanket on the blanket cylinder, and thereafter onto a sheet as the sheet is transferred through the nip between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder. A triple bump is printed or coated on the last printing unit with the aid of an impression cylinder inking/coating unit.
摘要:
A printing machine is disclosed, in particular a sheet-fed offset printing machine, in which a plurality of cylinders are coupled to one another via a continuous drive train, and at least two cylinders include a controllable drive. The controllable drive stresses the drive train in order affect the tooth-flank contact of the gear train, which affects the angular position of the printing cylinders. By controlling the angular positions of the printing cylinders, precise registration is maintained during dynamic changes in the load on the gear train during the printing process. More specifically, blanket cylinders in the printing machine are each coupled to a position-controllable drive, which is controlled by applying a preferred position value in such a way that the gear train placed between two drives is stressed by a predefined angular amount.
