  • Publication number: 20080223236
    Abstract: A sheet processing device includes a transport cylinder, processing cylinder, and blowing device. The transport cylinder holds and conveys a sheet. The processing cylinder opposes the transport cylinder, and processes the sheet conveyed by the transport cylinder. The blowing device blows air to the sheet conveyed by the transport cylinder on an upstream side in a sheet convey direction of a contact position where the sheet conveyed by the transport cylinder comes in contact with the processing cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20070256582
    Abstract: A processing device includes a transport cylinder, processing cylinder, and press roller. The transport cylinder includes a hold device which holds a sheet, and a plate support device which supports a plate to be mounted on an outer surface of the counter cylinder. The processing cylinder opposes the counter cylinder and processes the sheet. The press roller is supported to be movable between an operative position and retreat position. At the operative position, the press roller is close to the outer surface of the transport cylinder. At the retreat position, the press roller separates away from the outer surface of the transport cylinder, the plate being pressed against the outer surface of the transport cylinder by the press roller.
