  • Publication number: 20070234919
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for the production of printed products which are printed according to various methods. The invention also relates to a method for the production of printed products by combining various immediately successive processing steps, in order to provide a printing method and a device which enables various methods to be used on the same printed products in immediately successive working steps. The printed products, which are produced in one of the steps of the method in a film printing method, are coated with a film (10) in predetermined positions and are provided with a structure and or are stamped in another step of the method in a structure method and/or stamping method. The printed products to be produced undergo the steps of the method without intermediate storage.

  • Patent number: 5735994
    Abstract: In a film printing method for printing a print design on a substrate areas of a surface of a substrate to be provided with a print design is coated in a first step with an adhesive layer. The transfer film for the printing method includes a support film having a separating layer connected thereto and a transfer layer connected to the separating layer. At a first pressure the transfer film with the transfer layer facing the adhesive layer is printed onto the substrate so that the transfer layer adheres to the adhesive layer of the substrate. The support film together with the separating layer is removed from the transfer layer adhering to the substrate. In a final step, the transfer layer adhering to the adhesive layer on the substrate is subjected to a second pressure that is substantially greater than the first pressure.
