There is described a multicolor letterpress printing press, in particular a numbering press, comprising a printing group (50) with at least a first letterpress (e.g. numbering) cylinder (51) and a second letterpress cylinder (52) which are inked by an associated inking system (60, 71, 72, 81, 81 a, 81 b, 82, 82a, 82b). The inking system (60, 71, 72, 81, 81 a, 81 b, 82, 82a, 82b) comprises (i) a first inking device (81) supplying ink to a first chablon cylinder (71), (ii) at least a second inking device (82) supplying ink to a second chablon cylinder (72), and (iii) an ink-collecting cylinder (60) contacting the first and second chablon cylinders (71, 72) and the first and second letterpress cylinders (51, 52). The ink-collecting cylinder (60) collects a first ink pattern (A, D) from the first chablon cylinder (71) and a second ink pattern (B, C) from the second chablon cylinder (72). As a result, a first multicolor pattern of inks (A-D) is formed on the ink-collecting cylinder (60), which first multicolor pattern of inks (A-D) is transferred onto the first letterpress cylinder (51). The ink-collecting cylinder (60) further collects a third ink pattern (A, D) from the first chablon cylinder (71) and a fourth ink pattern (B, C) from the second chablon cylinder (72), thereby forming a second multicolor pattern of inks (A ″D) on the ink-collecting cylinder (60), which second multicolor pattern of inks (A ″D) is transferred onto the second letterpress cylinder (52).
摘要:
A security paper printing machine has a printing unit comprising at least one imaging cylinder, at the printing point of which, the printing point, in sections, of passing printing material, in a cycle of a fixed printing length with respect to the printing material feed to the printing point, can be printed with print images of a same print image length. A dryer device has a dryer comprising one or a multi-part drying unit that, in the printing material path, is downstream of the printing point. Printing materials passing through the dryer can be subjected to radiation for the purpose of drying the same. A control unit is provided for controlling the drying unit of the dryer with respect to activating and deactivating the same, which control unit is in signal connection with a transmitter providing signals representing one of the machine phase and the progress of the printing material, and which, per cycle, effectuates a switching on and off of or, at least part of, the drying unit after a sequence comprising at least one active and at least one inactive phase, in correlation with the position of one of the machine and the printing material phase.

A method is provided for manufacturing an image on a substrate, wherein the image includes an indicia and a frame. The method includes covering at least a portion the substrate with a carrier comprising magnetically alignable flakes, aligning the magnetically alignable flakes with a magnetic field of a magnetic assembly comprising a metal plate with an opening, and solidifying the carrier. The frame is formed at an edge of the opening and the indicia is visible within the frame. The magnetic assembly includes two magnets disposed so that the North pole of one magnet and the South pole of another magnet are proximate to the metal plate at opposite sides of the opening.

An Orlof printing section (2) is provided with an Orlof printing unit that has the following: partial plate cylinders (11), a collecting blanket cylinder (12), a collecting plate cylinder (13), a blanket cylinder (9), an impression cylinder (10), and a moving inker (25). An offset printing section (3) is provided with front-side and back-side offset printing units (3a-3d, 3e-3h) that each have an ink-supply device (18), a plate cylinder (19), a blanket cylinder (15), and an impression cylinder (16). The respective impression cylinders of the front-side offset printing unit and the back-side offset printing unit are placed up against each other such that said printing units receive and output sheets between said impression cylinders. The offset printing section (3) is also provided with a front-side inspection camera (23) and a back-side inspection camera (24). The Orlof printing section and the offset printing section are connected by transfer cylinders (14).
摘要:
An image-forming apparatus having an internal security paper detection unit and an image-forming method related to the apparatus. The image-forming apparatus controls a paper feed unit so as to feed a single sheet of paper from a paper stack unit when a command for forming an image on RF tag paper is input, controls a paper transfer unit so as to provide the paper fed from a security paper cassette unit to an image-forming unit along a transfer path, and controls the image-forming unit so as to normally form a desired image on the moving RF tag paper when an RF tag detection signal is input from an RF tag, paper detection unit, whereby the image is formed only on the security paper in which an RF tag is inserted and thus illegal leakage of documents may be prevented.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a pattern on a substrate web includes providing a production tool having a surface relief structure of elevations and depressions. The elevations correspond to a desired pattern. A curable material is applied to the elevations. The material is brought into contact with a substrate web at a first location. The substrate web and surface relief structure are transported together in contact from the first location to a second location spaced from one another along the transport direction of the substrate web. The substrate web is separated from the surface relief structure at the second location whereupon the material forming the pattern is affixed to and carried by the substrate web. The material is cured by exposure to a curing energy source, either between the first and second locations and/or after the substrate web has been separated from the surface relief structure at the second location.
