A printing assembly has at least one transport direction defined by a transport path provided for the transport of printing material through the printing assembly. The printing assembly has at least one first support body on which at least one first image-generating device is arranged and which at least one first support body extends both in the transport direction and in a transverse direction that is oriented horizontally and orthogonally to the transport direction. The printing assembly has at least one first temperature-control device for the targeted generation of a temperature difference between a first point of the at least one first support body and at least one second point of the at least one first support body. That second point is spaced apart from the first point, at least in the transport direction.

Printing assembly and method for operating a printing assembly

A method for printing a strip-shaped material to be printed uses a printing unit of a roller printer. Output data for actuating at least one printing machine printing unit component, which determines the shape of printing images, is generated from stored template image data of a complete printing image in order to generate a printed complete printing image. The complete printing image is determined or described in a primary data packet, and the dimensions of the complete image, which dimensions are measured in a template direction, are assigned to the complete printing image in the template image data or the primary data packet. The dimensions of the complete image are compared with a threshold, and if the threshold is exceeded, the complete printing image is divided into a plurality of sections with respect to the template direction, with the plurality of sections being determined or described in a plurality of secondary data packets. The sections are produced on the material to be printed by printing processes which are carried out by the printing unit and during each of which, output data, based on at least one of the secondary data packets, is processed.
