The step of transferring includes the step of positioning an edge of a region on one surface of the sheet, downstream in a sheet convey direction, where the liquid is to be transferred, upstream in the sheet convey direction of an edge of a region on the other surface of the sheet, downstream in the sheet convey direction, where the liquid is to be transferred. A liquid transfer apparatus is also disclosed. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20130098255 | COMBINATION PRINTING PRESS - Provided is a combination printing press including a collect-printing unit and an offset printing unit configured to perform offset printing on a paper sheet subjected to collect-printing by the collect-printing unit. The collect-printing unit has a movable inking unit disposed below a paper transport route, and is configured to perform collect-printing on a lower surface of a paper sheet. The offset printing unit includes lower surface offset printing subunits configured to perform offset printing on a lower surface of a paper sheet subjected to the collect-printing by the collect-printing unit. The impression cylinder of a collect-printing subunit and the impression cylinder of the lower surface offset printing subunit are connected by a single transfer cylinder. | 04-25-2013 |

| 20100005985 | FLEXOGRAPHIC PROOFING TOOLS AND METHODS - A hand holdable ink proofing tool including an anilox roll and an ink transfer roll, supporting a resilient printing plate. A metering roll adjacent the anilox roll is shiftable to be in contact with the anilox roll and to force ink into cells of the anilox roll; and a leading edge doctor blade is positioned to shear excess ink from a surface of the anilox roll. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20090071354 | Quick Stop Controlling Mechanism in Surface Treatment Device of Printing Press - There is provided a surface treatment device of a printing press that does not cause adverse affect on a transfer film in the surface treatment device at a quick stop of the printing press. The transfer film is wound around a plurality of rollers in the surface treatment device, and rollers disposed close to an impression cylinder out of the plurality of rollers are adapted to be capable of being individually driven through motors, respectively. At an emergency stop of the printing press, a controlling section fine-adjusts the running speed of the transfer film into synchronization with the speed of the impression cylinder, by driving the rollers individually while acquiring information from an impression cylinder encoder. | 03-19-2009 |
