20170151773 | SYSTEM FOR PRINTING ON BALLOONS - The present invention provides a system for printing on balloons where the priming of the balloons to receive print is substantially free of bubbles, the system comprising locally applying to a balloon external surface or to a balloon precursor sheet in a defined, limited area one of: a) a pre-shaped self adhesive label comprising a layer of primer that is adhesive-backed; b) a coating of primer that will be formed into the external surface area of a balloon wherein the remaining external surface area of the balloon is coated with a primer repellent material; c) a coating of primer by a silk screen process wherein the applied primer is subjected to a partial vacuum to draw air out from the coating and/or is subjected to the action of a roller or scraper that is held or pressed lightly against the coating to squeeze air from the coating. | 2017-06-01 |
20170151774 | Printing Machine Safety System - A screen printing safety system is provided. The system includes a screen printing machine, and a plurality of zones in the vicinity of the screen printing machine. Each of the zones includes at least one sensor for sensing encroachment past a predetermined point. The sensors are adapted to stop operation of the screen printing machine when encroachment is sensed in at least one of the plurality of zones. | 2017-06-01 |
20170151775 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING A DIGITAL PRINTER WITH FAILURE COMPENSATION - A method of controlling a digital printer having a reciprocating print head with an array of printing elements, the printer being arranged to operate in a selected one of a plurality of print modes, the printer having a failure detection system arranged to detect malfunctioning printing elements and a failure compensation system arranged to compensate a malfunction of a printing element by activating another printing element, the method comprising the steps of:
