A machine for processing individual sheets comprises at least one processing station, in particular in inkjet printing station, and a transport system () for transporting the individual sheets through the processing station, along a transport direction. The transport system () comprises at least one gripper conveyor () movable along the transport direction, for gripping one of the individual sheets defining a sheet position in transport direction. The transport system () further comprises at least one support conveyor () movable along the transport direction for supporting a region of the individual sheet, wherein the support conveyor () comprises a vacuum system for supporting the individual sheet on an interacting surface of the support conveyor, the vacuum system comprising a plurality of orifices in the interacting surface. The machine allows for efficient and flexible handling of individual sheets, in particular large format sheets of materials such as corrugated cardboard or other materials that have a certain degree of inherent stability.

Inkjet printing machine for printing individual sheets

An inkjet printing machine for printing individual sheets comprises at least one printing station and a transport system defining a transport track () for transporting the individual sheets through the printing station, along a transport direction. The transport system comprises a plurality of gripper conveyors () running along the transport track () for holding the individual sheets during a printing process in the printing station. At least one of the plurality of gripper conveyors () comprises a gripper mechanism () for gripping a leading edge of one of the individual sheets and at least one of the plurality of gripper conveyors comprises a gripper mechanism () for gripping a trailing edge of the individual sheet. The transport system further comprises a linear motor () being controllable in such a way that movement of each of the gripper conveyors () along the transport track () is individually controllable. The printing machine allows for efficient and flexible handling of individual sheets, in particular large format sheets of materials such as corrugated cardboard or other materials that have a certain degree of inherent stability.
