  • Methods and apparatus for printing onto cable jacket
    Patent number: 5223852
    Abstract: Printing onto a cable jacket in which while the cable moves along a passline in "in-line" production, a longitudinally extending band of the jacket is treated with an oxidizing gas flame to provide an oxidized surface and a jet printer prints a legend onto the surface. The method is of particular use when the jacket is formed from materials, e.g. polyethylene to which ink does not normally adhere readily.
