Method and device for changing the condition of a web of foil

Номер: US20120152444A1
Автор: Alexander Weber
Принадлежит: HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AG

A device and a method for coating a printing material include a foil engaged with a printing material on an impression cylinder using guide rollers. The foil and the printing material are guided together in an engagement area and a functional layer, such as glue or varnish, is dried, i.e. activated or polymerized, through the foil in the engagement area using a drier. The guide rollers are disengaged from the impression cylinder to avoid contact between the foil and grippers of the impression cylinder. To improve a detachment behavior of the foil from the functional layer, an angle of detachment between the foil and the sheet is varied by pivoting the guide rollers about an external geometrical pivot axis or an internal geometrical pivot axis, or at least assisting the disengagement of the foil from the impression cylinder by a change of a pneumatic condition of a foil-guiding element.

Sublimation (transfer of color via existing heat activated process) of computer generated process color/full color images into polyester coating that has been applied to the flat surface of malleable metal. A dimensional metal stamping die is then created with relief and/or texture to correspond in location to or otherwise enhance the color image that has been previously sublimated on the flat metal. Metal is then locked into position and stamped with the impression that has been cut into the hardened die. The result is a new, efficient method to achieve life-like color on 3-dimensional sculpted metal. Virtual patinas and tinting can also be achieved without additional chemicals or plating. Digitally generated variable printed data, variable sublimated color images and variable color schemes can be sublimated before minting or added as a third step with good definition on raised flat areas post stamping. 1.

Method for using a foil on a printing press and optimizing the maximum usage of the foil

Номер: US20150053338A1
Автор: Michael King
Принадлежит: Graphic Art System Inc

A method for material deposition employs a printing press, such as those used in cold foil transfers, that permits a greater usage of the foil web than traditional methods. This is achieved by increasing the number of times the foil web is passed through the press, while simultaneously taking into account the area that has not been used and adjusting the impacted area of the foil web accordingly. The foil web is adjusted by using a series of adjustable rollers and angular bars to change the length of the circumferential path the foil takes through the press. By modifying the angle of these rollers and the distance between them, the path can be lengthened or shortened to correspond to the particular needs for a particular print job. This allows the press to use the foil in such a way that reduces foil waste and manufacturer and consumer costs.
