Printing apparatus for printing on a print substrate

Abstract

The present invention relates to a printing apparatus for printing on a print substrate. The printing apparatus comprises: a printing station comprising a printing assembly for printing a first image on a first side of the print substrate during a first pass of the print substrate and printing a second image on a second side of the print substrate during a second pass of the print substrate; an input station for supplying the print substrate to the printing station; an output station for receiving the print substrate from the printing station, the output station comprising: a carrousel, the carrousel comprising at least two roll-up units, the carrousel being movable in a plurality of positions, in each of which a first roll-up unit of the at least two roll-up units is arranged in a substrate receiving position and a second roll-up unit of the at least two roll-up units is arranged in a position of the group of a substrate feeding position and a roll unloading position, wherein the roll-up unit in the substrate receiving position is adapted for receiving the print substrate, thereby forming a roll, and wherein the roll unloading position is different in location from the substrate receiving position.
