The present disclosure relates to ornamental indicia carrier and method of producing the same. In some embodiments, the ornamental indicia carrier comprises an ultraviolet light (“UV”) cured ink printed on a thin flexible film and combined with an adhesive layer. The ornamental indicia carrier is capable of enduring the conditions inside the mouth for an extended period of time and can be used in conjunction with a dental appliance.

A beverage use can includes a cylindrical can main body. The can main body includes a round opening at its upper portion. The can main body further includes a bottom at its lower portion. The can main body further includes an outer circumferential surface. Inkjet printing is performed over the entire outer circumferential surface of the can main body to form inkjet-printed images thereon. Then, plate printing is performed on these inkjet-printed images to form thereon images including characters. This improves quality of images formed on an outer circumferential surface of a beverage use can.

Articles having a graphic thereon and methods for making same are provided.

A method according to the teachings of the present disclosure may include disposing a sheath around a conductor assembly, with an outer surface of the sheath defining spaced apart crowns and valleys. An outlet of at least one ink jet print head may be positioned adjacent the sheath at an angle of 60 degrees to 120 degrees with respect to a longitudinal axis of the sheath. The method may also include using at least one ink jet print head to print marking indicia on the sheath, the marking indicia indicating at least characteristic of the electrical cable assembly.

A method of printing composition(s) on a web is disclosed. The method includes the steps of advancing the web and printing a plurality of composition sites on the web. The method further includes the step of forming one or more discontinuities in the web. The discontinuities correspond to the printed composition sites.

A predetermined area of a print surface is captured by a camera as a plurality of subdivided images to include an end edge portion of a previously printed image on a coating-target object, the end edge portion serving as a connection portion with an image to be drawn to be printed contiguous to the printed image, a composite print surface, which is a plane projection of the print-target surface which is non-plane, is created on the basis of the captured subdivided images, an edited image to be drawn is created by superimposing the image to be drawn on the composite print surface, and the image to be drawn is adjacently printed contiguous to the printed image on the basis of the edited image to be drawn.

A method for safely differentiating a three dimensional object subsequent to its creation and varnish protection by means of applying and sealing a decoration and/or data between the original and a final varnish layers. The three dimensional object may be decorated and/or contain data from its original manufacturing process but it may also be protected by a varnish prior to utilizing this process. The method enables the addition of decoration and data at any time or location subsequent to the original manufacturing process. The process takes place on top of the original varnish and may be subsequently sealed by applying another varnish layer.

A tablet printing apparatus 1 includes an inspection unit 53 determining whether or not the printed tablet T is good product, a good product collecting device 43 collecting the tablet T of the good product from the carrying belt 31a, a defective product collecting device 41 collecting the tablet other than the good product from the carrying belt 31a, a discharge confirming sensor 41c detecting whether or not the tablet other than the good tablet is collected by the defective product collecting device 41, and a re-inspection product collecting device 42 collecting the tablet T other than the good product from the carrying belt 31 a when a collecting operation for collecting the tablet T other than the good product is performed by the defective product collecting device 41, and the discharge confirming sensor 41c detects that the tablet T other than the good tablet is not collected.

A method for printing a three-dimensional object includes printing a structural layer onto a three-dimensional object, printing a first color layer onto a first region of the structural layer, and printing a second color layer onto a second region of the structural layer. The first region includes a first structural thickness, and the second region includes a second structural thickness, which is different than the first structural thickness. The first color layer includes a first color and a first color thickness, and the first color thickness and the first structural thickness in combination form a target thickness. The second color layer includes a second color and a second color thickness, and the second color thickness and the second structural thickness in combination form the target thickness.

A method for manufacturing a colored sheet for coloring an object by adhesion to the object includes, a coloring step of applying by spraying, a first coating fluid containing first microp articles for coloring to a thin film of a print receiver body which has a sheet-shaped support body and the thin film, the thin film being peelably held on the sheet-shaped support body to serve as a base material of an adhesive sheet which is to be adhered to the object, and a restricting step of applying by spraying, before the coloring step, a second coating fluid for restricting the first microparticles from penetrating the thin film to a location where the first coating fluid is to be applied.
