Abstract: Printing module comprising an assembly arranged on the front side for mounting a printing head in an inkjet printer, wherein the printing module is arranged at a distance in relation to a depositing device and the assembly has a carrier frame having an opening which extends through the carrier frame and is provided for receiving/releasing the printing head, wherein the assembly has means for mounting the printing head which make it possible to receive the same on the front side in a repair position of the printing module in relation to the depositing device.

Abstract: A web processing assembly including first, second and third fixed spaced apart pairs of nip rollers moving the web respectively at a first, second and third speeds, the first and third speeds being constant and similar, the second speed being variable with a mean speed similar to the first and third speeds, a first idler roller engaging the web between the first and second pair of rollers and a second idler roller engaging the web between the second and third pair of rollers, each idler roller maintaining the web in constant tension by moving along a restrained path perpendicular to its axis to compensate for a difference between the variable second speed and the respective one of the constant first and third speeds. A method for processing a web and system for conveying a web are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for exposing, developing and cutting reeled photographic material comprises an exposure unit, a cutting unit and a developer unit, and transport mechanisms associated therewith and operable to transport the reeled photographic material or to hold it stationary. A first buffer container is disposed between the exposure and cutting units and a second buffer container is disposed between the cutting and developer units. The buffer containers have flaps for selectively closing and opening the buffer containers whereby the reeled photographic material may be transported above them when they are closed and buffered therein when they are open.

Abstract: A gripping apparatus for reel material includes a reel support, a first clamping device and a second clamping device as well as a cutting device arranged between the clamping devices. The first clamping device is spring-mounted along two non-parallel axes so that the paper web can be evenly clamped and cut transversely to the web direction without twisting and formation of undulations.

Abstract: A take-up apparatus for reel material of an image exposing device has a driven winding drum and a sensor provided to control the drive of the winding drum. The sensor detects the position of the reel material ahead of the winding drum. In this case, the drive of the winding drum is controlled in such a manner that the reel material forms a bulge (A) ahead of the winding drum with a substantially constant curvature.
