Abstract: The invention encompasses the combination of two printing technologies into a single web fed printing press 10, particularly the combination of flexographic and intaglio printing. The present web fed printing press 10 comprises at least one flexographic printing module 14 equipped to apply variable amounts of motion and tension to a web of sheet material 11; at least one intaglio printing module 17 equipped to apply variable amounts of motion and tension to the web of sheet material 11; and means for controlling the amounts of motion and tension applied by the flexographic printing module or modules 14 and by the intaglio printing module or modules 17 to the web of sheet material 11. Preferably, the means for controlling the amounts of motion and tension applied to the web of sheet material 11 comprises a host processor 40 and first and second motion control processors 44, 45.

Abstract: A secure coiled roll paper product package using a hang card of resilient, tear resistant substantially flat stock with a pair of slots and integral arbor slit substantially in its center portion to form two contiguous halves that may be deflected to mount the coiled roll, the slots being dimensioned in relation to the coil to enable mounting of the coiled roll but substantially preventing removal of the coiled roll without tearing or otherwise defacing the card.
