  • Publication number: 20240129424
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and an apparatus for adopting analogue decor templates in decor printing, including the similarity comparison between at least one of 1 to n hyperspectral digital reference images of the analogue decor template and at least one of 1 to n hyperspectral digital actual images of a substrate with decor. A decor-specific profile target is adjusted such that the digital template of the analogue decor template can be output on a substrate by way of an output medium in such a way that the colour deviation between at least one of 1 to n reference images of the analogue decor template and at least one of 1 to n actual images of the substrate with decor is below a specified target value.

  • Patent number: 11876946
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and an apparatus for adopting analogue decor templates in decor printing, including a similarity comparison between at least one of (1) to n hyperspectral digital reference images of the analogue decor template and at least one of (1) to n hyperspectral digital actual images of a substrate with decor. A decor-specific profile target is adjusted such that the digital template of the analogue decor template can be output on a substrate by way of an output medium in such a way that the colour deviation between at least one of (1) to n reference images of the analogue decor template and at least one of (1) to n actual images of the substrate with decor is below a specified target value.

  • Publication number: 20240009993
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for processing an object, in which a printed image is printed onto the object by a digital printing facility and the object is then further processed in at least one work station. The at least one work station being controlled by an electric control unit, where at least one control character is applied to the object by the digital printing facility, the control character being detected in or upstream of the work station by at least one sensor and transmitted to the electric control unit, which controls the at least one work station depending on the control character transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20240007581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for comparing a reference colour profile or the color space value of the reference color profile of an analogue reference pattern with a decorative-element-specific color profile or the color space value of the decorative-element-specific color profile of a digital or analogue decorative element. In the course of the process, a reference color profile is created by reading in and storing measurement data of at least one portion of an analogue reference pattern by means of a hyperspectral area measuring device. According to the invention, a decorative-element-specific color profile is created either from the digital data of a digital decorative element or using hyperspectral area measurement of at least one portion of an analogue decorative element.

  • Publication number: 20230396725
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for printing a paper web with at least one print motif by means of a digital printing facility. The method includes: providing a digital image of a master sample of the print motif, printing a plurality of copies of a section of the at least one print motif with different color settings, creating digital images of the printed copies, comparing the digital images of the printed copies with the digital image of the master sample, where a degree of similarity is determined in each case, selecting color settings using the determined degrees of similarity and printing the print motif onto the paper web with the selected color settings.

  • Publication number: 20230322008
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for printing a decoration to be printed onto a plurality of print surfaces by digital printing equipment. The method includes: providing a digital template and reference measurement data of a decoration to be printed, said data being hyperspectral and spatially resolved, printing the decoration to be printed onto a print surface using the digital template, measuring measured variables of the decoration printed on the print surface (20), thereby obtaining print measurement data that are hyperspectral and spatially resolved, comparing the print measurement data with the reference measurement data and determining a measure of deviation of the print measurement data (6) from the reference measurement data, modifying the digital template if the measure of the deviation meets a predetermined criterion, and repeating the above steps.

  • Publication number: 20230278825
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for producing a circumferential packaging for a paper roll. The paper roll has a wound paper web and two opposing end faces and a circumferential surface that connected the end faces to each other. The method includes the following steps: applying a protective material in liquid form to an end section of the paper web by at least one application unit, the protective material being applied to one of two sides of the end section of the paper web, winding up the end section of the paper web, so that the end section forms at least one outer layer of the paper roll, and curing the protective material, resulting in a protective layer that covers the circumferential surface.

  • Publication number: 20230151616
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a covering system for a floor, a wall and/or a ceiling. The covering system includes a decorated side, a lower side opposite the decorated side and a plurality of interconnected covering elements. At least one conducting element is arranged between at least two of the covering elements in such a way that the at least one conducting element is at least partially visible on the decorated side. The at least one conducting element is configured to conduct a physical quantity, material or signals. The at least one conducting element includes an interface to a source or a consumer of the physical quantity, material or signals.

  • Publication number: 20230124632
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing at least one carrier material provided with a print decoration. The print decoration is applied to the at least one carrier material by means of digital printing. The water-soluble CRYK ink used for the digital printing has the following composition: Colour component C: at least one cyan pigment; Colour component K: at least one black carbon pigment; Colour component Y: at least one yellow pigment; or a mixture of at least two different yellow pigments or a mixture of at least one yellow pigment and at least one red pigment; and Colour component R: at least one red pigment, or a mixture of at least two different red pigments or a mixture of at least one red pigment and at least one yellow pigment.
