  • Publication number: 20090159194
    Abstract: A device for printing at least one web that is driven continuously through said device, in addition to a method for printing said web. At least one unit is integrated into the device for the continuous transfer of individual transponders or transponder parts, which operate according to the radio frequency identification principle, from at least one continuous carrier belt to the web. During said process, the running speed of the carrier belt is adapted to the running speed of the web, the latter speed being predetermined by the printing process. A connection device connects the transponders or transponder parts to the web in a predetermined section of the carrier belt and the web, when the speeds have been synchronised.
