Abstract: A continuous multi-station intaglio printing system enables use of a continuous web of letterhead paper or business card stock to which various indicia of single of multiple colors may be engraved in precise registration and subsequently severed or die cut into individual sheets of letterhead paper or business cards of regular or irregular shape. Each engraving station includes a hydraulic press to perform the engraving operation by means of an engraving die. The engraving die is removably mounted to a support using aligned pins and openings to effect precise registration of the engraving die. Registration of the engraving die, as well as a cutting die, may be precisely obtained with respect to the indicia on the engraved web material using a photo optic sensor for detecting a registration mark on the web material. Precision multi-colored engraving, as well as precision die cutting of the web material may be obtained in a multi-station intaglio printing system.

Abstract: A paper pad securement clip for use with a paper pad having a plurality of paper sheet members and optionally including a backing member. The paper pad presents a base surface and an upper surface with the individual sheet members edge glued together. The paper securement clip has a base member secured with respect to the lower end and an upper member secured with respect to the upper end. The base member includes a base member end and a first obliquely angled tip member. A first abutment surface is defined thereon also. The upper member defines an upper member end and a second obliquely angled tip having a second abutment surface. The first and second abutment surfaces are operative to secure the individual paper sheet members of the paper pad together with respect to one another and facilitate removal of individual sheets therefrom. The pad securement device optionally includes a removal arm extending outwardly therefrom defining a cutting edge thereon.
