20200399086 · 2020-12-24 ·

A high-speed digital printing system includes two unwinding machines for two input coils for a paper web, an input unwinding and splicing installation and a printing station and in which the input installation supplies, in turn, the printing station with the web of the two coils. The system also includes a splicing and rewinding installation with an output cutting and splicing equipment for an incoming web emerging from the printing station and two rewinding machines with two output coils. The output equipment feeds alternatively the rewinding machines with the incoming web by cutting and splicing of a web of the two output coils without stopping printing. An electronic controller switches the functionality of the output cutting and splicing equipment and of the rewinding machines with setting of the output coils as an operating coil and a waiting coil and, viceversa, as a waiting coil and an operating coil.
