Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to receive sheet length data for two paper sheets of a same standard dimension passing consecutively through a printing device. The processor calculates a length difference between the two paper sheets, and when the length difference exceeds a two-sheet threshold, it initiates an alignment correction cycle in a paper finishing device.

Abstract: In one example, a web press includes a web press station and a convertible buffer near the web press station, the convertible buffer being configured to convert to a platform for accessing the web press station. A method for performing web press maintenance is also disclosed.

Abstract: Providing for workflow and finishing solutions for printing are disclosed herein. By way of example, disclosed workflow provides grouping and managing a stream(s) of digital images across a substrate width, for maximizing print productivity and profitability. Digital images are re-sized according to print instructions and oriented into a print stream. Multiple print streams can be organized onto the substrate width, to improve substrate packing. Moreover, disclosed finishing solutions provide for outputting streams of prints according to an output format, in conjunction with rendering the digital images in physical form.

Abstract: In one example, a sheet handling device includes: a first mechanism configured to receive a flexible sheet moving in a first direction in a first orientation and turn the sheet to a second direction; a second mechanism configured to receive the sheet moving in the second direction, turn the sheet to a third direction and simultaneously reorient the sheet to a second orientation; and a third mechanism configured to receive the reoriented sheet moving in the third direction and turn the sheet to a fourth direction. The second mechanism may include, for example, a trio of elongated rollers and an endless loop belt wrapping the trio of rollers to form a nip between the belt and one of the rollers for receiving a first leading edge of the sheet in the second direction and expelling a second leading edge of the sheet in the third direction.
