The invention relates to a sheet-guiding device in a printing machine. The object of the invention is to provide such a sheet-guiding device which in a printing/varnishing unit that is not involved in the printing/varnishing process, permits the smear-free passage of the printing material in a printing/varnishing nip. This is achieved in that on the blanket/plate cylinderthere is arranged a printing plate with an ink/varnish-repellent surface coating, it being possible for the blanket/plate cylinderto be driven at the machine speed, and the sheet-carrying cylinderconveying the printed or varnished printing material.

Sheet-guiding device for a printing machine

A method and apparatus for treating the surface of substrates such as printed sheets, with improved surface quality. The apparatus includes a first roller () rotatable in a first direction and forming a placement surface for traveling printed sheets, one or more second rollers () mounted parallel to the first roller () for defining a roller nip with the first roller through which the sheets are directed and for exerting a predetermined radial pressing force against the sheets, the second rollers () being rotatable in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the first roller () and at least some of the second rollers () having a heating device for heating the printed sheet in the area of the roller nip between the first and second rollers.

Method for treating the surface of a substrate and a device for carrying out said method

A method and apparatus for processing a printing ink containing inhibitors and oligomers in a printing unit of a rotary printing machine in which the drying times of the printing ink on the printing material is shortened and the printing quality improved. In the illustrated embodiments, the printing unit includes two cylinders that form a press nip in which the printing ink is applied to passing printing material, and a catalyst mixture is applied to the printing material either by one of the cylinders or through an applicator device downstream of said press nip. A heating device is located in the conveying direction immediately downstream of the press nip or the applicator device.

Method and apparatus for processing a printing ink containing inhibitors and oligomers in a printing unit

Temperature control of the coating medium is performed to influence the processability of coating media in an applicator system. In order to operate without losing efficiency, devices acting directly from the inside or the outside for heat supply or dissipation are connected to the elements guiding the coating medium. The temperature of the coating medium is influenced by measuring the temperature within the coating medium and, if necessary, at the elements guiding the coating medium.

Device for the temperature equalisation of coating media

The invention relates to a sheet-fed rotary printing machine with printing units for multicolor printing and at least one coating unit. An object of the invention is to provide stable quality during the coating process and to reduce contamination of coating fluids. This is achieved by providing at least one coating unit being arranged downstream of the printing units, the coating unit including a cleaning system. More specifically, each of the coating units has a rotatable applicator roller, a metering system for applying coating fluid to the applicator roller, and a cleaning wiper system which is movable into and out of contact with the applicator roller. The cleaning wiper is arranged upstream of the metering system relative to a direction of rotation of the applicator roller.

Sheet-fed printing machine with cleaning system

The invention relates to a sheet-fed rotary printing machine with printing units for multi-color printing and with at least one coating unit. The object of the invention is, inter alia, to provide a sheet-fed rotary printing machine of the type described in the introduction, in which at least one coating unit can be used more universally and set-up times are reduced. This is achieved in that the coating unit,is formed from an impression cylinder,, a form cylinder,and a metering system,with a screened applicator roller,. The applicator roller,has a circular segment congruent to the cylinder pit of the form cylinder,, is at least the same size as the form cylinder,and can be imaged as a rough intaglio printing form.

A dryer device for a sheet-fed rotary printing machine including an impression cylinder and an associated forme cylinder, the dryer device including a radiant drying system and a hot-air drying system acting on sheets in the machine; a frame for releasably receiving the radiant drying system and the hot-air drying system, and a guide mechanism for moving the frame and attached drying systems relative to the impression cylinder.

Drying device for a sheet-fed rotary printing machine

A method and apparatus for washing printing press form cylinders and associated applicator rollers in a manner which reduces the drying of quick-drying media, such as varnish or ink, on the applicator roller and form cylinder. The washing device is disposed in a nip between the form cylinder and applicator roller and has two curved surfaces disposed in closely adjacent relation to respective surfaces of the form cylinder and applicator roller. Each curved surface has a spray device for directing a cleaning fluid onto the adjacent form cylinder and applicator roller and a suction-extraction device for removing sprayed cleaning fluid and removed ink and impurities. The method and apparatus may be selectively operated in a print-on mode in which a cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the rotating form cylinder and is suction-extracted from its outer surface. When printing is switched off, the method and apparatus may be operated in a print-off mode in which cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the rotating applicator roller and onto the rotating form cylinder, with the applicator roller is separated from the form cylinder.

A multi-color offset printing press for the printing and in-line coating of materials is disclosed. The printing press includes an in-line flexographic printing/lacquering unit for applying coating fluids to materials printed in the printing press. The flexographic printing/lacquering unit may be installed upstream of the first printing unit, downstream of the last printing unit or in between printing units.

Multi-color offset printing press for printing and in-line coating

The invention relates to an apparatus for the metering of liquid media, especially varnish, of differing viscosity in an offset printing machine. Exchangeable metering subassemblies are assigned to a form cylinder. The first metering subassembly provided for processing low-viscosity media consists of a reservoir, a dipping roller, a metering roller and the form cylinder. The second metering subassembly for processing higher-viscosity media consists of a chamber doctor, a screened applicator roller and the form cylinder. In a further version, both metering subassemblies are assigned permanently to the form cylinder. Depending on the media to be processed, the necessary subassemblies are engaged with the form cylinder and the other subassembly is disengaged from the form cylinder.

Apparatus for metering liquid media in offset printing machines

Method and apparatus for metering liquid media of different viscosity and preferably for metering liquid media for application to a printing carrier in varnishing units. In order to assure precise metering, exchangeable metering systems are assigned to a forme cylinder. If processing of low-viscosity media is required, a metering roller and an applicator roller of identical external diameter but different surface hardness are used. For the processing of higher-viscosity media, a chamber-type doctor with a screened applicator roller is used.

Method and apparatus for metering liquid media in offset printing

A method and apparatus for applying a liquid medium to a printing carrier in offset printing machines. It is suitable for processing media of different viscosity, such as low-viscosity dispersion lacquers or higher-viscosity bronze and effect printing inks. In order to guarantee precise metering, two function modules are assigned in an exchangeable manner to a forme cylinder in two bearings. If processing of low-viscosity media is required, the first function module, consisting at least of a metering roller and an applicator roller, is used. For processing higher-viscosity media, the second function module, consisting at least of a screened applicator roller and a chamber-type doctor, is used.
