A print board capable of being printed on and then separated into one or more pieces. The print board includes a main layer, a printable layer secured to a first side of the main layer and a pressure sensitive layer secured to a second side of the main layer. The print board is kiss cut through the printable layer, the main layer and a releasable portion of the pressure sensitive layer to form the one or more pieces. A base layer of the pressure sensitive layer holds the one or more pieces together so that personalized projects may be printed thereon. The personalized projects are printed on the printable layer and then the base layer of the pressure sensitive layer is removed. After the base layer is removed the print board is broken into the one or more pieces.

A multilayered printed matter is made up of a plurality of layers formed on a medium, including a front layer and a back layer with patterns printed thereon, and a white layer and a black layer interposed between the front layer and the back layer so as to conceal the back layer to be invisible from the front-layer side. The system for producing the multilayered printed matter includes a computer that executes a printing step of moving the medium and an inkjet head relative to each other using a moving device and printing the front, back, white, and black layers on the medium using the inkjet head, and a cutting step, subsequent to the printing step, of moving the medium and a cutting blade relative to each other using the moving device and cutting the medium using the cutting blade.

An apparatus for dispensing small objects is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame forming an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The frame supports a rotatable barrel that is disposed between the chambers. The barrel is constructed from a folded rectangular sheet that forms a chamber with an opening. The rotatable barrel is oriented with the opening facing upward to receive objects from the upper chamber into the barrel's chamber, such that when the handle is rotated about a horizontal axis the barrel turns to orient the opening downward and deposit objects in the barrel's chamber into the lower chamber.

There is provided a sheet-like article with a string enabling use in two use forms (a first use form and a second use form). A sheet-like article 1 with a string has a first use form and a second use form. The sheet-like article 1 with a string includes a sheet-like main body 2, and a string body 4 inserted into holes 3 of the main body 2. In the sheet-like article 1 with a string, change from the first use form to the second use form is possible by pulling of the string body 4.

A plurality of marks (11) equidistantly provided on both side edge parts (1a) of a long medium (1), a plurality of first indicator holes (12) equidistantly given on at least one of the side edge parts (1a), and a plurality of second indicator holes (13) given on at least one of the side edge parts (1a) on a straight line different from a row of the first indicator holes (12) at spacings shorter than spacings of the first indicator holes (12) are provided, and the second indicator holes (13) are each provided to a side of a trailing-end mark (11b), and each gradually comes closer to a leading-end mark (11a) as the long medium (1) runs toward a trailing end.

In one aspect, a self-laminating identification band is provided. The band is formed from the face stock of a form sheet, with a laminating flap that folds over a printed surface. Adhesive is provided along the flap and along at least one end of the band, so as to allow the band to positioned and looped around itself.

An information generating device generates data for use in a print processing device capable of printing in a state where sheets are connected to each other, and includes a memory, an input device, and a controller. The memory stores predetermined image data. The input device receives sheet information relating to the sheets which are to be connected to each other by a sheet print processor. The controller sets a magnification ratio indicating either an enlargement ratio or a reduction ratio of the image data, based on a length of the sheet in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction in which sheets are to be connected. In addition, the controller determines a connection length indicating a length of a connection region which is formed between sheets in the first direction, based on the set magnification ratio and the lengths of sheets in the first direction.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the stamp issuing method using a stamp card comprises these steps: offer a sales procedure by stamp card type and issue stamp cards through the procedure; receive purchase request signals from a user terminal, offer a procedure to select mail options and decide a payment method according to the information and service type chosen by the user through the procedure; offer a payment procedure depending on whether pre-payment or post-payment or a procedure to print a postal registration certificate; and offer a procedure to issue a stamp or print out an FDC after the postage is payed through the procedure.
