20080302255 | Method and a Device in Die-Cutting, and a Die-Cutting Press - A method and a device for producing a diffractive microstructured area on the surface layer of a substrate by embossing. The device includes a die-cutting press that includes a press member and a backing member and at least one die-cutting tool arranged for die-cutting the substrate placed between the press member and the backing member. The press member and/or the backing member is provided with at least embossing pattern corresponding to the microstructured area, against which pattern the substrate is pressed during the embossing, when the substrate is introduced between the press member and the backing member for the embossing. A method for converting a die-cutting press to a die-cutting and embossing device for producing a diffractive microstructured area on the surface layer of a substrate by embossing, wherein the press member and/or the backing member of the die-cutting press is provided with at least one embossing pattern corresponding to the microstructured area for embossing. | 12-11-2008 |
20090078133 | THIN-WALLED HOT FOIL STAMPING CYLINDER AND METHOD OF FABRICATION - A thin-walled hot foil stamping cylinder of predetermined diameter is formed from an extruded cylindrical tube having a wall of initially uniform cross-sectional thickness. Portions of the outer cylindrical surface of the wall are relieved to define raised, outwardly-projecting hot foil stamping indicia. End caps close opposed ends of the cylindrical tube. One of the end caps is provided with a passage therethrough for introduction of hot oil into the cylindrical interior space of the tube. A passage in at least one of the end caps that communicates with the interior of the tube permits selective draining of oil from the tube. The overall outer surface of the tube may be machined to reduce the tube to a predetermined diameter, prior to relieving the surface thereof to form the indicia. In this manner, a single extruded tube may be used to produce hot foil stamping cylinders of individual diameters corresponding to standard image repeats. | 03-26-2009 |
20100294145 | APPARATUS FOR FEEDING FOIL OF PRINTING MACHINE WITH TENSION - An apparatus for feeding a foil of a printing machine with tension is disclosed, in which vacuum pressure is only applied to a part of a shaft through which a foil passes, and an outer surface in contact with the foil is rotated. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical shaft body provided with a plurality of holes on the outer surface; a sun roller provided based on the center of the shaft body, having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the shaft body; a plurality of pinion rollers closely adhered to one another between the sun roller and the inner surface of the shaft body; and a bearing stopper provided to seal both ends of the shaft body and connected with a pump to supply vacuum pressure to only a space formed by the shaft body, the sun roller and two of the pinion rollers. | 11-25-2010 |
20100307352 | KEYBOARD THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTER - A keyboard thermal transfer printer is provided under the working platform of the keyboard thermal transfer printer with a translation drive having an electrically driven ball screw to precisely control the locating point of the lower working die seat on the working platform in a stepless driving manner. The longitudinal supports and load board of the working platform are constructed as a primary and an auxiliary work area, and respectively provided with a spindle system and an impression system. An infrared thermal sensor is disposed in the auxiliary work area to irradiate infrared rays on the press plate impression element and reflects the operating temperature of the impression element. The parameters of each function of the control box are corrected to obtain the optimum operating temperature for keyboard thermal transfer printing, thereby maintaining the consistency of the quality of images produced by keyboard surface thermal transfer printing. | 12-09-2010 |
20110113976 | SECURITY PRINTING WITH CURABLE TONERS - A system and accompanying method for creating a securely printed document using curable toners. The system includes a first radiation source configured to expose a first radiation to a printing substrate having an applied amount of toner, thereby liquefying the toner into a molten state, a curing station, a first feeder configured to feed the printing substrate into the curing station, and a second feeder configured to feed the embossing substrate into the curing station, wherein the embossing substrate comprises a pattern to be imprinted into the toner. The curing station includes a combiner configured to press the printing substrate and an embossing substrate together, a second radiation source configured to expose a second radiation to the combined substrates, and a divider configured to separate the printing substrate from the embossing substrate. | 05-19-2011 |
20120000379 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A STAMP FOR HOT EMBOSSING - The present invention provides a process for producing a stamp for hot embossing (HE). The stamp can be constructed from any photo-resist epoxy that is stable at temperatures equal to the glass transition temperature (T | 01-05-2012 |
20120060707 | HOLOGRAM FORMING APPARATUS AND HOLOGRAM FORMING METHOD - The present invention provides a hologram forming apparatus, including: an embossed hologram sheet; a roller which forms a nip portion between the embossed hologram sheet and the roller, wherein a recording medium bearing a toner image is conveyed to the nip portion so that the toner image is brought into contact with the embossed hologram sheet, and the recording medium and the embossed hologram sheet are heated while being nipped and conveyed in the nip portion; a cooling portion for cooling the recording medium that has passed through the nip portion and is in a contact state with the embossed hologram sheet; and a separating portion for separating the recording medium from the embossed hologram sheet, the recording medium having passed through the cooling portion and bearing the toner image on which an embossed shape of the embossed hologram sheet is transferred. | 03-15-2012 |

20140174307 | MICROSTRUCTURED HOT STAMPING DIE - A stamping die for hot stamping a material includes a profiled stamping surface, wherein the stamping die includes at least one thermally insulating substrate, on which an electrically conductive structure having a heating resistor is arranged, and wherein the electrically conductive structure is covered by an electrically insulating film. The surface of the electrically insulating film includes the profiled stamping surface and the electrically insulating film covers at least the heating resistor such that the electrically insulating film with the stamping surface can be electrically heated by the heating resistor. A method for hot stamping a material using such a stamping die includes heating the resistor to a temperature between 100° C. and 800° C. | 06-26-2014 |
20140261025 | Card Printing and Protection Method and System - A method and system for card printing and protection provides for single step construction of a card having an image and a protective overlay. A blank card is fed into a hot stamp module, through which is also fed a supply of overlay or patch film. A thermal transfer printer prints an image onto the overlay or patch before it enters the hot stamp module. The blank card is registered with the printed overlay or patch and then hot stamped together to create the finished card construction. A security printing/application module can also selectively apply a security feature or element to the overlay or patch before it enters the hot stamp module. | 09-18-2014 |
