Printing system for printing a plurality of images on a first web and on a second web and a method thereof
A printing system and a method for printing a plurality of images on a first web and on a second web are disclosed. The printing system includes a print head, a feed unit for feeding both the first web and the second web simultaneously to the print head in a feed direction relative the print head, a wrap up unit for wrapping up both the first web and the second web simultaneously to form a first output roll and a second output roll respectively, a user interface configured to set a printing arrangement of the plurality of images on the first web and the second web and to input the print head, the feed unit and the wrap up unit for performing printing according to the printing arrangement by ejecting marking material on the respective webs. The printing system includes a prediction module for predicting a first diameter of the first output roll and a second diameter of the second output roll based on the printing arrangement. The prediction module is configured to establish a difference of the predicted first diameter and the predicted second diameter, and to provide to the user interface a warning when the established difference is larger than a predetermined diameter difference threshold.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FEEDING MATERIAL WEBS TO A PROCESSING DEVICE
A delivery device for feeding planar material webs, for example airlaids, wetlaids, non-wovens, or films/foils, to a processing installation is proposed, said delivery device having a splicing unit and a multiple-web unwinding device. The splicing unit is configured for connecting a fibrous-web end of a preceding individual fibrous web to a fibrous-web lead of a subsequent individual fibrous web, so as to in this way feed a non-interrupted fibrous web to the processing installation. The splicing unit is moreover configured for processing airlaid fibrous webs that are wound on winding cores and are thus made up as roll goods. The multiple-web unwinding device has at least two winding-core mounts that are capable of being loaded in a mutually independent manner. Each of the winding-core mounts may receive a plurality of comparatively narrow rolls having narrower individual fibrous webs, or alternatively also a comparatively wider roll having a wider multiple fibrous web that is perforated in the unwinding direction. By virtue of the perforation, the wider multiple fibrous web may be detached so as to form a plurality of individual fibrous webs by severing along the perforation, such that as a result narrow fibrous webs may likewise be fed to the splicing unit, as is possible in the case of correspondingly narrow rolls having narrower individual fibrous webs.
Label Dispensing Assembly
A label dispensing assembly includes a plurality of canisters. Each of the canisters may contain a roll of labels such that selected ones of the labels are removable from each of the canisters. A plurality of cutters is provided. Each of the cutters is coupled to an associated one of the canisters and each of the cutters may cut the selected labels from the roll of labels in the associated canister.
