The present invention pertains to a device for producing printed products comprising an arrangement of cooperating rollers that are arranged parallel to one another, wherein at least the gap width between the rollers of one roller pair is adjustable. For this purpose, one roller of the pair is pivotably mounted by means of a pivot arm, wherein a driver arranged on the pivot arm displaces a linearly movable reference element by means of a sliding block guide such that the position of this reference element corresponds to the adjusted gap width. The sliding block guide is preferably realized in such a way that the gap width and the position of the reference element are proportionally correlated.

A process including the steps of: providing a water soluble film; providing an ink including between about 5% and about 30% by weight a solvent selected from the group consisting of diols, cyclic polyols, diglycols, triols, polyols, and mixtures thereof; and applying the ink onto the water soluble film.

Disclosed herein are an exterior forming method and an exterior forming structure of an electronic component. The exterior forming method of an electronic component may include mounting an injection-molded product, which is injection molded as an electronic component, to an upper portion a heat transferring base unit, mounting a printing film having an ink layer for a heat transfer to the upper portion of the heat transferring base unit such that the ink layer faces an upper surface of the injection-molded product, and heat-transferring the ink layer on the upper surface of the injection-molded product by rotating a heating roll while closely attached at an upper portion of the printing film. The exterior forming method may also include forming an UV coating layer on an upper portion of the ink layer that is heat-transferred on the injection-molded product.

According to one example, a method may include determining a desired pattern of fluid to be applied to a substrate, controlling a first array of fluid applicators to apply fluid to the substrate to form a first portion of the pattern, in which an applicator of the first array of fluid applicators spans a section of the substrate that includes portions of the substrate both in and out of the pattern. The method may also include controlling the first array of fluid applicators to cause the applicator to not apply fluid to the section of the substrate and controlling a second fluid applicator to apply fluid to the section of the substrate, the second fluid applicator being separately movable from the first array of fluid applicators.
