    Abstract: A method including receiving a first signal indicative of a first electrical current measured on a first motion assembly (77) for moving a flexible substrate (44) that receives droplets of a printing fluid from an image forming station (60) to form an image thereon. A second signal indicative of a second electrical current measured on a second motion assembly (99) for moving the flexible substrate (44), is received, wherein a section of the flexible substrate (44) is moving between the first motion assembly (77) and the second motion assembly (99). A parameter, which is indicative of a distortion in the image, is calculated based on the first signal and the second signal. In response to detecting, based on the parameter, an increase in the distortion, a corrective action is applied to reduce the distortion.

    Abstract: An intermediate transfer member (ITM) for use in a printing system. The ITM includes an endless flexible belt formed of an elongate belt having a longitudinal axis. Attached to lateral edges of the endless flexible belt along the longitudinal axis are a first elongate strip and a second elongate strip, each of the elongate strips including lateral formations on outward facing lateral ends thereof which are distal to the lateral edges of the belt. At least one of the first and second elongate strips includes a first longitudinal portion having a first elasticity, and a second longitudinal portion having a second elasticity, such that the second elasticity is greater than the first elasticity. The first portion is attached to the lateral edges of the flexible belt and the second portion extends between the first portion and the lateral formations.

    Abstract: A container body decorator (10) has a controller (300) with a software stored in a memory. A plurality of ink-jet printing heads (108) is in communication with the controller (300). A segmented image transfer blanket (116) has a circumferential configuration with an inner surface opposite a printing surface. A printing site (124) is located along the segmented image transfer blanket (116). A container body handling module (200) delivers container bodies to the printing site (124).

    Abstract: A printing system is disclosed which comprises a writing module, and a member having an imaging surface configured to carry a polymer and movable relative to the writing module. The writing module is configured to direct onto the imaging surface a plurality of individually controllable light beams that are spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the imaging surface, incidence of a light beam on a spot on the imaging surface serving to soften or liquefy the polymer carried by the imaging surface at the spot. The polymer softened or liquefied at the spot can transfer to a substrate or serve as an adhesive on the imaging surface. The writing module comprises a plurality of integrated electronic modules each having an array of individually controllable light sources, each light source producing a respective one of the light beams. In the invention, each light source comprises at least two Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) light-emitting semiconductor junctions connected in series with one another and configured to direct light onto the imaging surface at the same spot as one another.
