PRINTING AND SORTING | 5 |
| 20080196606 | Efficient cross-stream printing system - A printing system includes first and second marking engines which output marked print media to first and second angularly spaced print streams. The marking engines define, at least in part, first and second sides of a working area, whereby a user has access to the first and second marking engines via access members on the first and second sides of the working area. A merge module receives print media from the first and second print streams. The merge module includes at least one rotate and redirect path for merging print media from one of the first and second streams with print media from the other of the first and second streams to generate a merged print stream. At least one finisher receives the merged print stream from the merge module. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080229940 | Printer system and method for recovery from a document assembly failure - A system and method are provided for recovering from print assembly failure in a printer with printed medium assembly capabilities. The method generates a first print set including a plurality of physical medium sheets, and stores the first print set of a first interim stacker. A second print set is generated including a plurality of physical medium sheets. Sheets are accessed sheets from the first interim stacker and assembled with sheets from the second print set, generating a final print set with a plurality of sheets in a first order. The final print set is stored in an output stacker. In the event of a first print set failure, first print set replacement sheets are generating. In one aspect, generating the final print set includes directly merging first print set replacement sheets (bypassing the interim stacker) with sheets from the second print set. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20130152806 | SORTING A MEDIA STACK USING A PRINTER - A printing apparatus includes a print media input holder; a print region; at least one media transport element for moving sheets of recording medium from the print media input holder to the print region; a scan element disposed along a printing path; and a print media output holder; and a controller including: a selectable media sort mode that includes: using the scan element to determine whether a sheet of recording medium has marks on a first side of the sheet; and moving the sheet of recording medium to a first location or a second location depending on whether the first side of the sheet is determined to have marks on it; and a selectable printing mode that does not include determining whether the sheet of recording medium has marks on it. | 06-20-2013 |
| 20140238252 | TRANSFER APPARATUS AND TRANSFER METHOD - To provide a transfer apparatus that uniforms peeling characteristics and peeling characteristics in transfer processing and that enables a stabilized transfer result to be obtained, in a transfer apparatus for nipping a transfer film | 08-28-2014 |
| 20140331873 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING METHOD - When an image formed on an intermediate transfer film is heat-transferred to a recording medium, the film surface is prevented from being deteriorated or distorted due to heat so as to enable high-quality printing. The printing apparatus of the present invention comprises a recording medium supply unit, an image formation unit which forms the image on the transfer film, a transfer unit which transfers the image on the transfer film to the recording medium, a film supply unit which supplies the transfer film, a film winding unit which winds the film, a media transport path which transports the recording medium sent from a medium supply unit to the transfer unit through an information recording unit, a film transport path which transports the transfer film sent from the film supply unit to the transfer unit through the image formation unit, a film delay unit which temporarily delays the transfer film disposed at the film transport path, a driving means which is connected to at least one of the film supply unit and the film winding unit, and a control means which controls the driving means. | 11-13-2014 |

| 20130333579 | INTEGRATED IMPRINTING SYSTEM AND TRAYS FOR SELECTIVELY PROCESSING ITEMS ON TRAY - Systems and methods for imprinting different types of articles of manufacture and for selectively enabling one or more of pre-treatment, processing, and/or post-treatment processes according to the type of article of manufacture to be processed. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140109779 | SCREEN PRINTING MACHINE - An inexpensive small-sized screen printing machine having low redundancy and high production efficiency and applicable to a dual conveying-type component mounting machine. A pair of substrate supporting tables juxtaposed in a specific direction is provided. Screen printing is alternately performed by a single print executing section in a common area which can be shared by the two substrate supporting tables. In doing so, when one substrate supporting table located at a print position among the pair of substrate supporting tables starts exiting the print position, the other substrate supporting table starts entry to the print position. | 04-24-2014 |

ERASABLE PLATE | 2 |
| 20090126590 | Method and Device for Producing a Permanent as Well as Erasable Image on a Printing Plate - A method and device for producing a permanent as well as erasable image on a printing plate, in particular within a printing press, is disclosed. A printing plate with a rewritable and erasable surface is made available. The surface of the printing plate made available is erased and a permanent and erasable image is created on the erased surface. Following the erasing of the surface, the surface is imaged, gummed and fixed, namely in such a way that, on the one hand, the imaging and the gumming and the fixing occur relative to the erasing in a chronologically sequential and spatially sequential manner, and that, on the other hand, the imaging and the gumming and the fixing each occur relative to one another in a chronologically parallel but spatially sequential manner. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20120145023 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus picks up each one of sheets stacked in a tray, allows a detecting sensor to detect whether a mark indicating a reusable sheet is assigned to the picked-up sheet, and cumulates the sheet in which the mark is not detected by the detecting sensor in a cumulative unit. The image forming apparatus erases a color of an image forming material by heating the sheet of which the mark is detected by the detecting sensor and receives the sheet of which the image forming material is erased in a sheet cassette. The image forming apparatus forms an image with the image forming material erasable by applying heat to the sheet received in the sheet cassette. | 06-14-2012 |

MISCELLANEOUS | 2 |
| 20080216698 | MICRODOT PRINTING HEAD - A microdot printing head containing hollow pins as reservoirs for biological samples is manufactured with a high degree of accuracy in the spacing of the hollow pins by press fitting the pins into bushings at precisely dimensioned end sections in the bores of the bushings, and receiving the bushings into a common support block. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20140130694 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes a notification section that provides information to a user; a sheet feeding section that feeds a sheet; an image forming section that forms an image on a sheet; a first conveyance section that conveys a sheet fed from the sheet feeding section to the image forming section; a displacement detection section that detects a displacement of a sheet in the first conveyance section; a displacement correction section that corrects a lateral position of a sheet on the basis of a result of detection by the displacement detection section; and a control section that controls the notification section to notify an occurrence of a displacement error which cannot be corrected by the displacement correction section and a cause of the displacement error when the displacement error is detected by the displacement detection section. | 05-15-2014 |

| 20110079159 | METHOD AND DEVICE TO PRODUCE PRINTED ITEMS - A method and device to produce printed items having at least one printed product and a supplement. The device includes a gathering device with a gathering section such that the gathering section includes a continuously circulating conveyor. A printer is also provided to produce the printed products wherein the printed products include a single page or partial block stacks. The device further includes feeders to supply the printed products to the conveyor and at least one supplement feeder arranged between two of the feeders to feed at least one supplement to the circulating conveyor. | 04-07-2011 |
