Patent number: 10279605Abstract: A printing system includes a first imaging unit configured to print a first image and a registration mark associated with the first image on a web contemporaneously during a production run, and a sensor configured to detect the registration mark at a point where the registration mark is within a second imaging unit. The printing system further includes a controller configured to calculate an offset along a width direction of the web based on the registration mark and to instruct the second imaging unit to print the second image on the web. The second image is shifted in its entirety in accordance with the calculated offset and is printed on the same side of the web as the first image.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANYInventors: Henderikus A. Haan, Anthony V. Moscato, Brett Rimes, Frank J. Rocco, Carl F. Armstrong

Patent number: 10022965Abstract: A method for operating a printing device and an image generation kit are disclosed. The image generation kit is adapted to controllably eject individual drops of a gating agent, and is operating the image generation kit in synchronism with a principal substance application apparatus to deposit the drops of the gating agent on a substrate and to transfer a principal substance to the substrate. The drops of the gating agent on the substrate define image and non-image areas of the substrate, the image and non-image areas of the substrate are undefined until the drops of the gating agent are deposited thereon, and the substrate with the principal substance transferred to the image areas is an end product of the printing device.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: R.R. Donnelley & Sons CompanyInventors: Anthony B. DeJoseph, Theodore F. Cyman, Jr., Kevin J. Hook, Anthony V. Moscato, Henderikus A. Haan, James L. Warmus

Patent number: 9505253Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring a principal substance applies the principal substance onto a surface and deposits drops of a gating agent onto a first portion of the principal substance applied to the first surface. The depositing of each drop of gating agent is individually controlled. A second portion of the principal substance not covered by the gating agent is transferred from the first surface to a second surface. A printing system adapted to transfer principal substance from a first surface to a second surface is also disclosed, wherein the printing system exerts mechanical pressure between the first surface and the second surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: R.R.
