Abstract: An apparatus and a method for processing a digitally printed-on paper web, conveyed continuously through the apparatus includes a perforating tool for perforating the paper web transverse to its movement direction, and a cutting tool for cutting print sheets from a downstream end of the paper web. The tools are attached spaced-apart to a tool carrier which can be moved to two operating positions in which respectively one of the tools can be made to engage with a counter tool on a rotating cutting drum.

Abstract: A method for the production of a print job by sequential or quasi-sequential digital printing includes forming at least one stack including signatures, print sheets and/or individual sheets produced by the digital printing. Components of the stack are transferred at least to a book-related printed product by means of at least one additional processing. The formation of the stack and the components thereof is carried out by means of production-related data or data sets which, by means of at least one workflow system, firstly select a specific sequence of individual book-related printed products made of the stack, and which secondly control a layout of the individual main printed products having same or different thicknesses and/or formats and/or having same or individual contents.

Abstract: A method for producing printed products in a production plant, equipped with a digital printing press and at least one post-print processing machine arranged downstream of the digital printing press. The printed products are produced according to work orders for which the digital printing press prints on a print material web. The post-print processing machine processes the print material web into printed products. The production plant is converted for producing different printed products to be produced in a following work order, relative to a preceding work order. A time interval is initially determined for adjusting the post-print processing machine with the longest adjustment time. The post-print processing machine to be adjusted begins with the adjustment as soon as the last printed product of the preceding work order leaves this post-print processing machine.

Abstract: A method and device for the conversion of a production plant for the post print processing, which production plant includes several post print processing machines and a plant central control unit. The method and device may be used for successively processing different production orders for turning partial products into finished print products. According to the method, it may first be determined when a last partial product of a first production order has left a post print processing machine. The post print processing machine may then be automatically and/or semi-automatically converted by the plant central control unit. The method may include determining, by the plant central control unit, when the conversion of the post print processing machine has been completed.

Abstract: With a method for transmitting process-control data before and/or during a printing process for the production of printed products in a printing press, the data are detected at least with the aid of at least one print mark that is effectively connected to a printed product. The data obtained from the print mark are transmitted and/or transferred to at least one processing unit that is arranged downstream of the printing operation. Within the printing process, the data obtained from the print mark are subjected continuously to at least one redundant check in at least one downstream-arranged processing unit, with respect to the data determined during the integral printing process and/or with respect to a further processing location for the printed products which is specified ahead of time.

Abstract: A method for producing at least one printed product, the method including conveying the printed product to a processing apparatus, wherein the printed product includes a detectable identification code. The method further includes supplying the printed product to at least one tool of the processing apparatus and processing the printed product with the at least one tool. The processing includes detecting data, with a reading device, from the detectable identification code on the printed product and transmitting the data to a control unit. The processing further includes controlling, by the control unit, the at least one tool to process the printed product in dependence of the transmitted data.

Abstract: A method for processing a web to form printed products includes affixing a print mark assigned to a printed sheet of the web to a useful strip of the web. The print mark includes a coded print mark. An image is recorded that shows a region of the web in which the affixed print mark is located. The print mark in recorded image is searched for and identified. A position of the print mark in the recorded image is determined, and based on the determined position, the position of the print mark on the web is inferred. A correction value is determined for synchronizing a subsequent further processing of the web in dependence on the position of the print mark on the web.
