Abstract: In some examples, a printing press includes a support element with a circulatingly movable contact surface for contacting a printing substrate. An ink jet print head includes an ejection opening arranged to be directed at the support element. Additionally, the printing press includes a charging device that includes a charging electrode, which is arranged to be directed at the contact surface. The charging device further includes a counter-electrode, and the movable contact surface is at least partially arranged between the charging electrode and the counter-electrode of the charging device. A smallest distance between the charging electrode and the movable contact surface is greater than a smallest distance between the ejection opening of the ink jet print head and the contact surface. For example, the smallest distance between the charging electrode and the contact surface may be at least 50 mm.

Abstract: A printing assembly has at least one transport direction defined by a transport path provided for the transport of printing material through the printing assembly. The printing assembly has at least one first support body on which at least one first image-generating device is arranged and which at least one first support body extends both in the transport direction and in a transverse direction that is oriented horizontally and orthogonally to the transport direction. The printing assembly has at least one first temperature-control device for the targeted generation of a temperature difference between a first point of the at least one first support body and at least one second point of the at least one first support body. That second point is spaced apart from the first point, at least in the transport direction.
