Abstract: An apparatus and methods for the adjustment of the position of a die in a printing press are disclosed. The apparatus and methods provide for the adjustment of a die frame within a chase. The chase defines a horizontal and a vertical axis. The die frame is slidably secured in a chase to permit movement and adjustment of the die frame in the horizontal and the vertical axis. The die frame may be slidably mounted to one or more vertical guides and one or more horizontal guides to facilitate movement and adjustment in the horizontal and vertical axis.
Abstract: An apparatus and methods for the adjustment and positioning of a slider bars (and in turn, tools, dies, etc.) in a chase for use in a press are disclosed. The apparatus and methods provide for the adjustment of slider bars within a chase. The slider bars are slidably secured in one or more channels in a guide portion of a chase to permit movement and adjustment of the slider bars (and in turn, tools, dies, etc.) in the horizontal and the vertical axis.
Abstract: A web platform has multiple print modules adapted to print form data and variable data in a continuous operation. A controller with access to a form image database and a variable document database is connected to the web platform. Each print module on the web platform uses single color, ink jet, print heads. Form data is printed by a plurality of single color print modules. Variable data is printed by a single color print module. Bulk paper in rolls is fed through the web platform to print the forms and customer statements. The controller can direct printing of multiple statements simultaneously in discrete lanes on the web platform. Printed customer statements are subsequently separated into individual finished documents for process and mailing.

Abstract: A die carrier combined with a die board where the die carrier is positioned within an opening formed in the die board. The die carrier includes a block having a peripheral groove, an extendable strip fitted within the groove, and a screen carried by the block and engageable with the extendable strip to move the strip outwardly from the block. By virtue of the movement of the block within the die board opening, the die carrier may be positioned to register the embossing components.
Abstract: A screen printing frame assembly has a rectangular main frame with laterally spaced side members, longitudinally spaced end members, and a pair of longitudinally spaced cross members extending between the side members. At least one rectangular sub-frame has laterally spaced side portions, longitudinally spaced end portions and a screen printing medium extending across the sub-frame, the screen printing medium bearing a single numeral to be printed. Each cross member has a sub-frame retaining portion engageable with a respective end portion of the sub-frame to retain the sub-frame in assembly therewith.
Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in printing devices whereby type may be set and bumper stickers and other items printed with an increase in speed and convenience on equipment of inexpensive design by providing a system of slots which line up metal type and then lock them in place for printing.
