  • Process and device for determining the position and/or the shape of marks on printed-on paper webs
    Patent number: 6880458
    Abstract: A process and device are provided for determining the position and/or the shape of at least one mark on a web to be printed on. The position and/or the shape of the at least one mark in the image to be printed is determined with the use of prepress data. The device for determining the position and/or the shape of at least one mark on a web to be printed on includes an input device for entering prepress data and a device for determining position data and/or shapes for a mark based on the prepress data entered.

  • Process and device for determining the position of a printed paper web
    Patent number: 6779454
    Abstract: A process is provided for determining the position of a printed paper web in a printing press, especially in a rotary printing press. Reference values for determining the position from the image data of the preliminary printing stage are obtained. At least part of a printing style on the paper web is detected by at least one scanner. The reference values obtained from the image data of the preliminary printing stage are compared with the measured values detected by at least one sensor. The position of the printed paper web is determined from the result of the comparison. A device is provided for determining the position of a printed paper web in a printing press, especially in a rotary printing press, with a data processing device, in which reference values are generated from image data from the preliminary printing stage for determining the position. At least one sensor is provided for detecting at least part of a printing style on the paper web.
