Abstract: A method and electrostatographic printer for forming a multi-color image on a web-fed receptor material. The method includes receiving a toner image on a first toner image-collecting device in a first color unit; transferring the toner image images on the first image-collecting device at a single transfer point to the final toner image-collecting device in a final colour unit; and transferring the toner image or images collected on the final toner-image collecting device in the array of at least two image-collecting devices directly or indirectly to the receptor material at a single transfer point at one side of the receptor element using a transfer device such that the collected toner image transferred from the final toner image-collecting device using the transfer device contain the individual images from all image-forming stations in the multiple colour units, wherein at least one of the image-collecting devices is a seamless belt.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved electrostatographic single-pass multiple station printers as well as methods of operating the same being able to avoid displacement of different color images by effects of the toner coverage of the printed pages. To obtain this, a main encoder means (50) and a printing medium advancement measurement means (60a) are provided, the main encoder means (50) for producing a first signal (501) indicative of printing medium displacement and the printing medium advancement measurement means (60a) for providing a second signal (601) representative of printing medium advancement. The printing medium advancement measurement means (60a) is adapted to co-operate with the main encoder means (50) for automatic adjustment of said first signal (501) using said second signal (601).

Abstract: The invention relates to a loading device for loading a printing plate from a multiple plate stack to an input section of a plate imaging bed in an imaging system for performing a computer-to-plate imaging process on printing plates. The loading device comprises a picking unit for picking a printing plate from the multiple plate stack and transporting the plate to the input section. Further, the loading device is arranged to release the plate after the plate has been positioned in a starting position for autonomous manipulation by the imaging system.
