Abstract: An automated page turner apparatus for turning the pages of a book either forwards or backwards under the control of a single-switch input. It comprises of a base for book support, a clutch based mechanism for lifting a page with an adhesive head, a shifting mechanism for flipping a page to the opposite side, and an electronic controller for receiving the user input. The lifting mechanism includes a four-bar system for creating a peeling action to separate the adhesive head from the lifted page.

Abstract: Ink jet printing is provided on large area substrates such as wide width textile webs. The printheads are driven by linear servo motors (633) across a bridge (630) that extends across the substrate. The timing of the jetting of the ink is coordinated with the motion of the printheads (640,641), so that the heads can be rapidly moved and the ink can be jetted while the printheads are accelerating or decelerating as they move on the bridge. Preferably, ultraviolet (UV) light curable ink is jetted and first partially cured with UV light (645,646) and then subjected to heating to more completely reduce uncured monomers of the ink on the substrate. Preferably, the heat is applied by contacting the substrate with a heated plate (661,662). Ink jet printing is provided using ultraviolet (UV) light curable or other curable composition or stable or other printable substance. In certain embodiments the UV ink has a dye-component therein.
