A system for printing on a substrate can comprise a conveyor that is configured to move the substrate along a substrate movement axis. The system can further comprise at least one print head array. Each print head array has a plurality of print heads, each print head having a respective orientation axis. The plurality of print heads can have at least a first print head and a second print head, wherein the orientation axis of the first print head is angularly offset from the orientation axis of the second print head. The first print head can be offset from the second print head along the substrate movement axis.

A method of marking a fiber-based product includes providing a heat stamp apparatus including a heating element thermally coupled to a stamping block and a temperature sensor thermally coupled to the stamping block. The system further includes a platen bearing an embossed pattern. Marking is accomplished by heating the stamping element to a predetermined temperature via the heating element and information acquired from the temperature sensor, then bringing the embossed pattern in relation to the surface of the fiber-based product (e.g., via direct contact and compression or simply very close to the surface) to form at least one of a corresponding three-dimensional contour and charred surface region.

A method for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate, a device for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate, a female die and/or a male die for use in a device, and to a method for producing a female die and/or a male die. The method for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate in a work station including an embossing roller and a counter-pressure roller includes the following steps: a) preparing the substrate; b) blind embossing the substrate by means of at least one female die provided on the embossing roller and at least one male die provided on the counter-pressure roller. The device for the rotary blind embossing of a substrate has a work station having an embossing roller and a counter-pressure roller, at least one female die being provided on the embossing roller and at least one male die being provided on the counter-pressure roller.

The object of this invention is to transfer, fix and polish images produced by: toner laser printers or inkjet printers, flexographic technology, silkscreen technology, offset technology, printed on reel support (A), on the plastic or metal surface of three-dimensional objects (16), thanks to which it is possible to detach images from the reel support (A) and subsequently transfer them to the surface of said plastic or metal objects (16) by a thermomechanical (1, 10) action.

A processing device configured to process a printed sheet (3) includes an embossing device (5) configured to perform emboss-processing of the sheet (3), and a final processing device configured to perform final working processing of a surface of the sheet (3). The final processing device includes at least one of a number printing device (6) configured to print a number on the sheet (3), and a varnishing device configured to apply a varnish to the sheet (3). There is provided a processing device capable of performing emboss-processing without disturbing sheet feeding when performing the final process of printing by performing the emboss-processing at an appropriate stage of a printing step.

A device and a method for the decoration of objects to be decorated, wherein the object is held by a holding device. In a first step decorative material is applied to a transfer medium by a printing device. In a second step adhesive is applied to the transfer medium provided with the decorative material or to the object, and in a third step the transfer medium is pressed onto the object by a pressing device and at the same time the adhesive is cured by a curing device.

A cast and cure system which can be implemented by UV lacquer and which enables application of various patterns and sheathing on printed materials in areas such as flexible packaging, printing, serigraphy, label printing and offset tin printing. The system includes at least one UV cassette which enables the UV lacquer to pass under the UV light together with the belt and therefore curing the UV lacquer. The system relates to a micro embossing unit with belt-which has at least one cooler cylinder which cools the film coming out of the UV cassette, at least one cylinder which enables the film to be carried during the sheathing and at least one tension control system which automatically adjusts the tension of the cylinders.

A printing device, in particular offset printing device, for transferring a transfer ply of a transfer film to a substrate,

wherein the printing device has a first printing unit, which has a first transfer unit including a transfer cylinder with a transfer medium and a first substrate cylinder, wherein the first transfer unit of the first printing unit is designed in such a way that a first adhesion promoter is transferred from the transfer medium to a first region of the surface of the substrate, and a corresponding method.

A foil transfer apparatus includes a support base on which a transfer object can be placed, a transfer tool including a pressing body to press the transfer object and a thermal transfer foil, to apply light to the thermal transfer foil, and to be movable in a transfer region having a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape in plan view, a pressing body moving mechanism to move the transfer tool relative to the support base, a detection jig detachably attachable to the support base, to overlap the transfer region in plan view when attached to the support base, and to be used to detect whether the pressing body is present or not, and a controller to control the transfer tool and the pressing body moving mechanism.

A device for the surface treatment of a substrate including a transport device, a vacuum suction device, a corona device and a coating device, is described. The transport device is formed as a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is formed as a vacuum suction belt of the vacuum suction device, and the conveyor belt is formed as a counter electrode of the corona device.
