After the static and dynamic printing of the printing substrate, each printed copy is detected using measuring techniques and recorded at least in sections in such a manner that each printed copy is verifiable with respect to its authenticity. | 03-19-2009 |
20090079776 | METHOD FOR REDUCING A STRIKETHROUGH EFFECT IN INKJET PRINTING ON THIN SUBSTRATES - A method for reducing the strikethrough effect in inkjet printing on thin substrates is disclosed. The method includes determining a normal print quality; determining a normal quantity of ink which would be used for inkjet printing of a certain print image on a strikethrough-resistant substrate, based on the normal print quality; determining a minimal print quality for the print image to be printed; determining a maximal value for the strikethrough effect; reducing the normal quantity of ink to a reduced quantity of ink, so that the print image has at least the minimal print quality and the maximal value of the strikethrough effect is not exceeded. | 03-26-2009 |
20090086002 | METHOD FOR PRINTING A SUBSTRATE WEB - A method for printing a substrate web in a rotary printing press is disclosed. The substrate web to be printed is conveyed through a printing form-based printing unit for static printing of the substrate web with a print image that does not vary for the print copies of a printing job, such that at least one static print page is printed in the longitudinal direction of the substrate web per revolution of the form cylinder and several static print pages are printed on the substrate web across the longitudinal direction of the substrate web. In addition to static printing, the statically printed substrate web is printed dynamically with a variable print image in the area of a printing form-free printing device of the rotary printing press such that the print format of the printing form-free printing device extends in at least some sections over at least two statically printed pages. | 04-02-2009 |
20090095185 | WEB-FED PRINTING PRESS - A web-fed printing press is disclosed. The press includes at least one printing-plate-based printing unit for statically printing a printing substrate web with a static printing image and at least one processing device, in particular a printing-plate-less printing device for dynamically printing at least one printing substrate web surface of a printing substrate web with a variable printed image in-line. The processing device is assigned a sensor, which automatically measures a statically printed printing substrate web and, depending upon the measurement of the printing substrate web, triggers the processing device to position the processing to be performed with the processing device in the transport direction and/or transverse to the transport direction of the printing substrate web at the desired position on the printing substrate web. The processing device is assigned an operating device to make control commands available to the processing device independent of a printing press control system. | 04-16-2009 |

The press having at least one printing unit for printing at least one printing substrate web, and having at least one processing device for processing the at least one printing substrate web, a control device for controlling the at least one processing device, and a fastening device for arranging the at least one processing device at an arbitrary web feed position between a reel changer of the web-fed printing press and an exit of a folding unit of the web-fed printing press in such a way that the at least one processing device is able to process the printing substrate web on an upper side and/or on a lower side and/or on one or both edges of the same. | 04-23-2009 |
20100208280 | Method for Printing A Substrate - A method for printing on a substrate, wherein the substrate is printed upon with a plate-based printing process, i.e., an offset printing process, and with a plateless printing process, i.e., an inkjet printing process, inline with the plate-based printing process. In accordance with the invention, the printing resolution of the plateless printing process is determined depending on a printing speed of the plate-based printing process. | 08-19-2010 |
