  • Publication number: 20050217518
    Abstract: A stencil printing machine, which includes: a drum which is freely rotatable and has an outer peripheral wall formed of an ink impermeable member, in which a stencil sheet is mounted on a surface of the outer peripheral wall; an ink supplying device which has an ink supply port on the outer peripheral wall of the drum, and supplies the ink, which is guided from an ink tank, from the ink supply port to the surface of the outer peripheral wall; and a pressure roller which presses a print sheet fed thereto to the outer peripheral wall. The supply tank is placed below the lowermost position of the outer peripheral wall of the drum. Moreover, a position where the ink supply port is located above a liquid level of the ink in the supply tank is set at a rotation stop position of the drum.

  • Publication number: 20050211115
    Abstract: There is disclosed a stencil printing method carried out by employing a stencil printing machine comprising: a drum which is rotatable and has a outer peripheral wall formed by an ink impermeable member and in which a stencil sheet is mounted on a surface of the outer peripheral wall; an ink supply device which has an ink supply unit provided on the outer peripheral wall of the drum and supplies ink on the surface of the outer peripheral wall from the ink supply unit; and a pressure roller which presses a fed print medium onto the outer peripheral wall; the method comprising: a step of mounting a stencil sheet on the drum; a step of plate-making the stencil sheet; and a step of transferring a water-based ink to a print medium by making the water-based ink pass through perforations of the stencil sheet.

  • Publication number: 20050183591
    Abstract: A stencil printing machine includes a drum on which a stencil sheet is mounted, and a pressure roller which presses a print sheet fed between the drum and the pressure roller and rotates together with the drum. The print sheet is fed from an upstream side of the pressure roller in a conveying direction, an image is transferred from the stencil sheet onto the fed print sheet in a process where the print sheet passes between the drum and the pressure roller, and the print sheet on which the image is transferred is discharged to a downstream side of the pressure roller in the conveying direction.

  • Publication number: 20050150401
    Abstract: A stencil clamping portion which clamps a tip end of a stencil sheet on an outer peripheral wall of a drum is provided, and the stencil sheet clamped by the stencil clamping portion is wound and attached around the outer peripheral wall. The stencil clamping portion includes an insertion slit which is provided along an axial direction of the drum and open to a surface of the outer peripheral wall, and an elastic sheet which pinches the stencil sheet inserted into the insertion slit. The tip end of the stencil sheet is inserted into the insertion slit by an insertion blade, and pinched by the elastic sheet.

  • Publication number: 20050045054
    Abstract: A stencil printing machine has a rotatable printing drum including an outer peripheral wall of ink impermeable material. A stencil paper is mounted on the surface of the outer peripheral wall. An ink supplying mechanism includes an ink supplying unit in the outer peripheral wall of the printing drum and supplies ink to the surface of the outer peripheral wall. A pressure roller presses a fed print sheet against the outer peripheral wall. When an initial printing operation is performed after a stencil paper is mounted on the printing drum, the ink supplying mechanism is caused to supply the surface of the outer peripheral wall, in advance, with an amount of ink which is larger than an amount of ink which is supplied for second and proceeding printing operations.
