A method of printing comprises providing a component source wafer comprising components, a transfer device, and a patterned substrate. The patterned substrate comprises substrate posts that extend from a surface of the patterned substrate. Components are picked up from the component source wafer by adhering the components to the transfer device. One or more of the picked-up components are printed to the patterned substrate by disposing each of the one or more picked-up components onto one of the substrate posts, thereby providing one or more printed components in a printed structure.

The disclosure discloses a foil stamping mechanism, which includes a base and a lifting seat, wherein a plurality of stamping molds are arranged between the base and the lifting seat, an aluminum foil driving mechanism is arranged above the stamping mold, the aluminum foil driving mechanism includes a connecting plate, a monitoring device is installed on one side of the connecting plate. According to the disclosure, a pattern on an electrochemical aluminum foil can be precisely stamped to a corresponding position on a film roll.

Systems and methods in which dot-like portions of a material (e.g., a viscous material such as a solder paste) are printed or otherwise transferred onto an intermediate substrate at a first printing unit, the intermediate substrate having the dot-like portions of material printed thereon is transferred to a second printing unit, and the dot-like portions of material are transferred from the intermediate substrate to a final substrate at the second printing unit. Optionally, the first printing unit includes a coating system that creates a uniform layer of the material on a donor substrate, and the material is transferred in the individual dot-like portions from the donor substrate onto the intermediate substrate at the first printing unit. Each of the first and second printing units may employ a variety of printing or other transfer technologies. The system may also include material curing and imaging units to aid in the overall process.

A warp transferring machine includes a color transferring unit, a colored paper unit and a yarn arranging unit. The color transferring unit includes a heating roller, a driving shaft, a separable shaft, a supporting shaft that are rotatable about their respective axes and a pressing belt that is looped therearound to circulate continuously. The colored paper unit and the yarn arranging unit respectively guide a colored paper and a yarn toward the heating roller such that the pressing belt presses thereagainst so as to transfer colors of the colored paper onto the yarn.

The invention relates to a device (410; 410′) for driving a stamping foil over a path through a stamping machine, the driving device (410; 410′) comprising two foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) and a drive member (440) coupled to the foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) notably through a platen press (310) of the stamping machine (1), characterized in that it further comprises at least one first load-measurement device (3a; 3a′) comprising a first detector (7a) configured to measure a parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member (440) for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements (420a, 420b) in a first direction, the at least one first load-measurement device (3a; 3a′) being connected to a stamping-machine (1) control unit (4) configured to stop the driving by the drive member (440) when the parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member (440) and measured by the first detector (7a) crosses a threshold.

The present invention also relates to a stamping station and machine comprising the driving device. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling the driving of a stamping foil.

A roller assembly for a heat transfer printing system or hot foil transfer system is provided. The roller assembly includes a cylindrical roller core that extends around a center axis. The roller core includes an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface. The exterior surface is positioned to face a target object being printed upon. The roller assembly also includes a pliable tube in contact with the exterior surface and positioned to contact a thermal print ribbon disposed between the tube and the target object while the roller core is rotated to apply pressure on the ribbon and print onto the target object from the ribbon. The tube is not bonded to the roller core.
