  • Patent number: 11945976
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat-sealable structure comprising an aluminum foil and a heat-seal lacquer, said structure exhibiting a seal strength, according to ASTM F2824, of more than 23 N/15 mm when heat-sealed to another heat-sealable structure comprising an aluminum foil and the same heat-seal lacquer, the heat-seal lacquers of both structures contacting each other for heat sealing, said seal lacquer comprising a copolymer blend comprising: —from 30 to 80% by weight, preferably 40 to 70% by weight, more preferably from 50 to 60% by weight of a copolymer A based on (meth)acrylate ester (co)polymers, olefin (co)polymers and block or grafted copolymers comprising (met)acrylate ester sequences and olefin sequences, —from 20 to 70% by weight, preferably 30 to 60% by weight, more preferably from 40 to 50% by weight of a copolymer (B) based on vinyl halides, vinyl esters of carboxylic acids and ethylenically unsaturated (poly)carboxylic acids.

  • Patent number: 10226950
    Abstract: A print-head module for a single-pass inkjet printer contains a housing component with a transverse bracket which extends in the X-direction and on which a number of print heads are arranged which are adjusted positionally with respect to at least one reference position. A load-bearing frame with a supporting device is provided for supporting the load-bearing frame. The housing component is mounted on the load-bearing frame such that it swings about a pendulum axis. Furthermore, a single-pass inkjet printer has at least one print-head module of this type. The inkjet printer contains a frame construction with a support, on which the at least one print-head module is placed by use of the supporting device.

  • Patent number: 9308757
    Abstract: Disclosed is a print head adjustment device (1) for an inkjet printer. The print head adjustment device includes an adjustment adapter (4) and a print head (3) that has a printing side (6) extending on an X-Y plane. The adjustment adapter (4) includes a receiver (20) which is adjustable in the X-Y plane and in which a stationary end (9) of the print head (3) is accommodated. A movable end (8) of the print head (3) is mounted on the adjustment adapter (4) so as to be slidable in the X direction and rotatable about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the X-Y plane.

  • Patent number: 8960858
    Abstract: A print-head module for a single-pass inkjet printer is specified, which print-head module includes a housing, a hangar part which is fastened to the housing for hanging in a manner which is oriented in the direction of gravity, and a number of print heads which are arranged on the housing along a transverse direction which is perpendicular with respect to a running direction, wherein the print heads are positionally adjusted at least at one reference position. The print-head module can be exchanged simply and rapidly. Complicated re-adjustment on the single-pass inkjet printer can be dispensed with.

  • Patent number: 8393704
    Abstract: An inkjet printer has a print head with a number of ink ejecting nozzles that are driven by way of a control signal. The print head is calibrated near the time of the intended printing operation. A predefined calibration screen is printed with the inkjet printer, the value of a measurement parameter characterizing the ink application is determined on the basis of the printed calibration screen, and the ink ejection quantity per dot is calibrated. The calibration includes adapting the control signal using the determined value of the measurement parameter. A print product is printed by an inkjet printer that has been calibrated in this way.
