  • Patent number: 9352545
    Abstract: A printing/coating method includes the steps of transferring highly reactive ink/varnish which cures with a low light energy onto a transfer object, and irradiating the transfer object, onto which the highly reactive ink/varnish is transferred, with light in the wavelength range, in which no ozone is generated, to cure the highly reactive ink/varnish on the transfer object. A printing/coating apparatus is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2016
    Assignee: KOMORI CORPORATION
    Inventors: Kazuhiro Maejima, Isao Funabashi
  • Patent number: 9242448
    Abstract: In a printing press of a lenticular lens sheet, a cocking adjustment unit adjusts the relative angle between a plate on which a pattern formed from a plurality of pattern portions is formed such that boundary lines between the adjacent pattern portions become parallel and a transparent lenticular lens sheet on which a plurality of lenses are formed such that groove lines between the adjacent lenses become parallel. An adjustment amount calculation unit calculates an adjustment amount for the cocking adjustment unit based on the relationship between the boundary lines and the groove lines in a state in which the lenticular lens sheet is overlaid on the plate. A printing method of a lenticular lens sheet is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6606949
    Abstract: A sheet-fed rotary printing press includes a feed unit, a printing unit, a delivery unit, and a printing quality control unit. The feed unit feeds sheet-like objects one by one. The printing unit performs printing on the sheet-like objects supplied from the feed unit. The delivery unit delivers the sheet-like objects printed by the printing unit. The printing quality control unit is provided on the delivery unit to adjust an amount of ink to be used for printing on the sheet-like objects.
