Patent number: 7069854Abstract: An improved method and system for cleaning a cylinder of a printing press. One method involves soaking a strip of cleaning fabric on a press with a low volatility organic compound solvent. Excess solvent, if any, is removed to place the strip of cleaning fabric in functional equilibrium with the solvent. The cleaning fabric is then used to clean a cylinder. Alternatively, the strip of cleaning fabric is soaked on site by contacting the strip of cleaning fabric with the solvent and wrapping the strip of cleaning fabric into a cleaning fabric supply roll. The cleaning fabric is then brought in engagement with a printing press having a cylinder to be cleaned without disposing a sleeve around the fabric roll and without substantially disturbing the distribution of the solvent in the fabric roll and detrimentally affecting the cleaning ability of the fabric.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2001Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Baldwin Graphic Systems Inc.Inventors: C. Robert Gasparrini, Peter E. Anselmo, Walter H. Cano

Patent number: 7040729Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering ink by controlling a pressure of the ink. A vacuum or partial vacuum is maintained at an ink reservoir that supplies ink to one or more print heads. As the temperature of the inks or of the printing system changes, the pressure of the ink experiences a corresponding change. The printing system is equipped with temperature sensors to detect the temperature of the ink, the print heads, or the printing system. The temperature data is processed and an adjustment is made to the partial vacuum maintained on the ink reservoir to accommodate changes in temperature. The temperatures are repeatedly sampled to ensure that the pressure of the partial vacuum is properly maintained for current temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2004Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Oce Display Graphics Systems, Inc.Inventor: David B. Richards

Patent number: 6817290Abstract: A bearing assembly for use on a printing press is disclosed. The printing press includes a frame. A support shaft is mounted to the frame and includes a pair of ends, with the support shaft defining a longitudinal axis. A cylinder is provided, and the bearing assembly rotatably supports the cylinder on the support shaft. The bearing assembly is adapted to permit angular adjustment of the cylinder relative to the longitudinal axis of the support shaft. The angular adjustment of the cylinder is effected about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support shaft.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2001Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Goss Graphic Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thaddius A.

Publication number: 20040189769Abstract: A printing system for drying ink deposited upon a printable medium. The system including at least one print head for directing ink onto the medium as the print head moves over the printable medium. Moving with the print head is at least one halogen lamp that generates electromagnetic radiation having a sufficient wavelength to penetrate the ink. The at least one halogen lamp may irradiate the printable medium and/or the platen, with one or both of the printable medium and the platen aiding with drying the ink deposited upon the printable medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Applicant: Oce Display Graphics Systems, Inc.Inventors: Raymond D.

Patent number: 6739716Abstract: Systems and methods for curing inks with radiation. An apparatus includes a housing that includes a pair of reflectors and/or two separate lamps of different power that direct ultraviolet radiation onto the inks being cured. The pre-cure reflector only reflects a portion of the radiation such that the inks are not fully cured. The pre-cure reflector causes the inks to change or thicken slightly such that they do not move on the media or merge with other inks while still retaining a liquid or wet nature. All colors of ink can then be placed in a single layer before the cure reflector fully cures the UV inks by reflecting sufficient UV radiation onto the single layer of UV ink.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Océ Display Graphics Systems, Inc.Inventor: David B.

Patent number: 6705711Abstract: A printing system includes a printing device fluidly communicating with a main ink reservoir and a vacuum pump. The main ink reservoir refills one or more reservoirs mounted within the printing device when the ink contained therein falls below a defined tolerance level. The vacuum pump varies a level of a vacuum or partial vacuum within the reservoir to maintain a pressure level at one or more nozzles of one or more print heads mounted in the printing device. Variations in the level of the vacuum or partial vacuum can be based upon the desired pressure at the nozzles, the particular volume or level of ink stored within the reservoir, and the type of ink stored within the reservoir. Through creating the vacuum or partial vacuum, the inks stored within the reservoir are degassed before being delivered to the print head.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Oće Display Graphics Systems, Inc.Inventor: David B.
