Machine arrangement with printing unit for the sequential processing of sheet-type substrates

This invention describes a machine that processes sheets of material, like paper, through a series of stations. Two of these stations are specifically designed for non-impact printing, such as inkjet or laser, where the printing devices are arranged around a large, rotating cylinder. To ensure smooth feeding and transfer, a smaller drum or cylinder is positioned immediately before or after this main printing cylinder.

Why it matters: The continued demand for highly customized, on-demand printed products, often requiring integrated finishing steps like coating or cutting, makes this combined processing architecture more relevant. Advances in non-impact printing speed and quality since 2021 could further enhance the efficiency of such a multi-station system.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom large-scale precision mechanics, integrated printing units.
