| 20090211476 | METHOD FOR PRINTING ON SPHERICAL OBJECT AND PAD TO BE USED THEREFOR - There are provided a printing method in which at least approximately hemispherical portion of a spherical object to be printed can be printed by pressing a pad against the portion one time, and which can prevent an image printed on the spherical object to be printed from being elongated or distorted, and a printing pad used for this printing method. The method for printing on the spherical object to be printed comprises the steps of preparing a hollow printing pad having a transfer surface, the printing pad being configured so that when the transfer surface is pushed, the gas in the hollow part is released to the outside of the printing pad; transferring ink or paint in recesses formed on the surface of a printing plate to the transfer surface of the printing pad by applying the ink or paint onto the surface of the printing plate and by pressing the transfer surface of the printing pad against the surface of the printing plate; and transferring the ink or paint, which has been transferred to the transfer surface of the printing pad, to the object to be printed by pressing the transfer surface of the printing pad, to which the ink or paint has been transferred, against the object to be printed until at least the hemispherical portion of the object to be printed is wrapped by the transfer surface of the printing pad. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20120103215 | VARNISHING OR PRINTING PLATE - A varnishing or printing plate includes a support layer, a varnish or ink transfer layer and a filling layer interposed between the support layer and the varnish or ink transfer layer. The filling layer comprises a plurality of sublayers connected together in succession so as to form the filling layer made of a polyurethane. Each of said sublayers of the filling layer has a thickness between 160 and 330 micron, and the polyurethane with which said sublayers of the filling layer are made is such that they have a Shore A hardness of between 55° and 65°. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120132092 | IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PRINTING - A printing form precursor comprises a printing surface which comprises an inorganic metal compound, the printing surface being hydrophobic and capable of being made hydrophilic by energy but capable of becoming hydrophobic again, for reuse, if desired. An associated method of printing includes steps of subjecting the printing surface imagewise to energy so as to locally increase its hydrophilicity sufficient to make the surface differentiated in its acceptance of an oxophilic a printing ink; applying the ink to the printing surface and printing from the printing surface; causing or allowing the printing surface to undergo a reduction in hydrophilicity sufficient again to make the printing surface uniform in its acceptance of a printing ink; and,if wished, repeating these steps on multiple occasions. Thus the invention achieves the goal of providing a printing form precursor which does not need a chemical developer, and which can be used multiple times, to print different images. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120192738 | EMBEDDING DATA INTO SOLID AREAS, TEXT OR LINE WORK - A relief printing member includes at least one solid image feature on the relief printing member; encoded data on at least one solid feature; wherein the encoded data in at least one solid image feature includes a modification of at least one surface of the relief printing member within a boundary of the solid image feature. | 08-02-2012 |
| 20120227601 | STAMP WITH DRAINAGE CHANNELS FOR TRANSFERRING A PATTERN IN THE PRESENCE OF A THIRD MEDIUM - A stamp for transferring a pattern to a substrate in the presence of a third medium, includes a permeable hydrophilic matrix for guiding excess third medium away from the surface of the stamp. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120285342 | PRINTING FORM AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE PRINTING FORM WITH CURABLE COMPOSITION HAVING BISPHENOL-BASED EPOXY RESIN - The invention pertains to a process for preparing a printing form from a curable composition that includes an bisphenol-based epoxy resin; an amine curing agent selected from primary amines and secondary amines, the agent having an amine equivalent weight of less than or equal to 200 g/equivalent; and, a multi-epoxy reactive diluent. The process includes applying the curable composition to a supporting substrate to form a layer, curing the layer at one or more temperatures in a temperature range, and engraving to form at least one cell in the cured layer. The process prepares printing forms, particularly gravure printing forms, having a cured resin composition layer that is engravable, resistant to solvent inks and to mechanical wear, and capable of printing gravure-quality images. | 11-15-2012 |
| 20120291643 | ABLATION-TYPE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING MEMBERS HAVING IMPROVED EXPOSURE SENSITIVITY AND RELATED METHODS - Ablation-type printing plates having improved exposure sensitivity are produced using an imaging layer—i.e., the plate layer that absorbs and ablates in response to imaging radiation—whose composition includes a large proportion of crosslinker. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20120291644 | ABLATION-TYPE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING MEMBERS HAVING IMPROVED EXPOSURE SENSITIVITY AND RELATED METHODS - Ablation-type printing plates having improved exposure sensitivity are produced using a thin imaging layer—i.e., the plate layer that absorbs and ablates in response to imaging radiation—whose composition includes a large proportion of radiation absorber. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20130291748 | Beaded Partially Coated Anti-marking Jackets - A removable flexible jacket for use in a printing press having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate. The removable flexible jacket comprises a film sheet, a plurality of beads coupled to the film sheet by a bonding material, wherein the beads are of different sizes, and a coating partially covering the beads, wherein a cusp of at least some of the larger beads is substantially free of the coating. | 11-07-2013 |
| 20150298451 | GRAPHIC ARTS SLEEVE AND SUPPORT MANDREL - A graphic arts sleeve includes a multilayer curved plate and an elongated slide. The plate presents opposed end margins that cooperatively form a longitudinal seam. The plate includes an engravable layer and an inner layer cladded relative to one another, with the inner layer being located radially inward of the engravable layer. The slide extends along the seam and is fixed relative to the plate radially inward of the engravable layer. A filler is located at least partly within the seam to bridge the end margins of the engravable layer. The engravable layer and the filler cooperatively providing an outer sleeve surface, with at least part of the outer sleeve surface being continuous across the seam from one end margin to the other end margin. A method of fabricating the sleeve and a press mandrel for supporting the sleeve, as well as other types of sleeves, are also disclosed. | 10-22-2015 |
