20090241788DEVICE FOR COATING A PERIPHERAL SURFACE OF A SLEEVE BODY - A coating device for coating a peripheral surface of a sleeve body with a coating formulation includes a vertical support column for supporting a sleeve body in a vertical position coaxial with a coating axis, a carriage slideable along the vertical support column, and an annular coating stage attached to the carriage and moveable therewith for containing the coating formulation and for coating a layer of the coating formulation onto the peripheral surface of the sleeve body during a sliding movement of the carriage along the vertical support column. The coating device includes an irradiation stage that is arranged to be moveable with the annular coating stage and to provide radiation to at least partially cure the layer of coating formulation onto the peripheral surface so as to prevent flow off of the coating formulation.10-01-2009
201000076923D-INKJET PRINTING METHODS - A 3D-inkjet printing method includes the steps of01-14-2010
20110108518METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COATING A PERIPHERAL SURFACE OF A SLEEVE CORE - A method of coating a peripheral surface of a sleeve core with a radiation curable coating liquid including the steps of: supporting a sleeve core in a vertical position coaxial with a coating axis; providing an annular coating collar, supplying the coating liquid to the annular coating collar and moving the annular coating collar along the sleeve core in a vertical direction coaxial with the coating axis, thereby coating a layer of the coating liquid onto the peripheral surface of the sleeve core; wherein the coated layer of the coating liquid is cooled by the peripheral surface of the sleeve core to have a viscosity at the temperature of the peripheral surface of the sleeve core and at a shear rate of 10 s05-12-2011
20110126760IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAKING FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING MASTERS - A method for making a flexographic printing master includes a first step of providing a flexographic printing support; a second step of applying image wise with a first resolution a layer of a radiation curable liquid partially covering the printing side of the support; a third step of flood exposing the applied radiation curable layer to fully cure the layer; and a fourth step of image wise laser engraving the cured layer with a second resolution which is higher than the resolution of the second step. An imaging apparatus can perform the above method.06-02-2011
20110209635SLEEVES AND SLEEVE SEGMENTS FOR FLEXOGRAPHY - A sleeve segment for flexography has the shape of a sleeve with a first circular side containing a female registration element and a second circular side containing a male registration element. Also a method for manufacturing a flexographic sleeve segment, segmented sleeves and methods of flexographic printing.09-01-2011
20110219972INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAKING FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING MASTERS - A method for making a flexographic printing master includes the steps of providing a flexographic printing support: applying image-wise on the flexographic printing support subsequent layers of radiation curable liquid by an inkjet printing device whereby one or more applied layers are immobilized using a curing device before one or more subsequent layers are applied, such that a relief with a top hat profile is obtained; and grinding the relief so that the height DT of a top hat segment is reduced. An imaging apparatus includes structure to perform the above method.09-15-2011
20120046376POLYMERIZABLE POLYMERIC PHOTOINITIATORS AND RADIATION CURABLE COMPOSITIONS - A polymerizable polymeric photoinitiator according to Formula (I):02-23-2012
