Abstract: A method of making a colorimeter colour standard, including determining print parameters required to achieve a desired colour for the colour standard, printing the desired colour on a colour-receiving face of a first transparent piece using the determined print parameters and permanently affixing the printed first piece to a second transparent piece such that the colour-receiving face of the first transparent piece and a joining face of the second transparent piece are positioned at the interface between the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement (1) for integrating one or more ink jet printheads (6) with an existing primary web or sheet press or the like, the mounting arrangement (1) including a printhead gantry (4) adapted for positioning intermediate the reel stand/splicer (2) and printing unit (3) of the primary press, a mounting carriage (7) fitted to the printhead gantry (4) and adapted to receive and position the printhead (6) to intercept the paper, including cardboard (or other substrates) (5) fed from the reel stand/splicer (2), a drying arrangement (13) adapted to dry the ink jet printing, rollers (10) adapted to intercept and direct the paper feed from the feed roller (2) past the printhead (6) and drying arrangement (13), and a tensioning arrangement to return the ink jet printed paper to the primary press under appropriate tension.

Abstract: An apparatus for washing elongate material including means for passing the material sequentially through a plurality of washing and soaking sections by means of a plurality of driving and driven rollers arranged to squeeze the material, as well as to control the feeding of the material through the apparatus.
