Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a device for curing a UV curing printing ink (14) on a printed material (9), wherein the printing ink (14) is irradiated with UV light from a UV radiation source (8). A low pressure gas discharge lamp (7) is proposed as UV radiation source (8). The device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that it comprises a stationary reflector (5) having, in particular, a special reflecting layer with diffuse reflecting material based on silicone rubber having diffuse reflecting particle imbedded therein.

Abstract: A printing device for the printing of individual, flat print substrates, such as compact discs, in a multi-color print, uses a plurality of print units. These print units are arranged in a common frame and each has a print position. The distance between print positions in adjacent print units is less than the lengths or diameter of one of the print substrates.

Abstract: A printing device for printing plastic cards utilizes a printing and inking unit which is supported in a pivotable frame, in cooperation with a counter-pressure cylinder to print individual cards in one or more streams of cards. The printing and inking unit includes an ink duct, a screen cylinder, an ink transfer cylinder, a printing forme support cylinder and a rubber blanket support cylinder. The pivot frame can be pivoted to separate the rubber blanket support cylinder from the counter-pressure cylinder so that the rubber blankets on both cylinders can be accessed.

Abstract: A flexographic printing machine has a printing block cylinder, an impression cylinder and a duct roller that is immersed in an ink trough. The printing block cylinder is rotatably supported by exchangeable bearing blocks that are removably secured to spaced support beds. Each support bed is mounted on an eccentric having a journal which is carried by side plates of the printing machine. The support beds are movable both horizontally and vertically to shift the printing block cylinder between various positions.
