Abstract: An image display comprising a substantially rigid support structure including a rectangular central sheet, four side strips and four back strips can be provided. An image can be provided on at least the front of the central sheet. The side strips can extend alongside respective edges of the central sheet and be adjoined to form four corners. The back strips can extend along respective side strips and be adjoined at respective corners for forming the assembled support structure. A mechanical securement device can be connected to adjoined back strips at each corner for rigidly securing the adjoined back strips together and for retaining the side and back strips in an assembled position.

Abstract: An image forming method for printing on tab paper with a main body for a text and an tab for an index, comprising the steps of: 1) acquiring index information on the index to be printed on the tab, and 2) printing the index information acquired in the step 1) on the tab paper, wherein first index information composed of the initial part of the index information that can fit into the tab, is printed on the tab, and second index information containing at least the remaining part of the index information after depriving it of the first index information, is printed on the main body.

Abstract: A printing sleeve (10) has a first printing sleeve portion (10A) with a first and a second end. At least one of the ends of the first printing sleeve portion has a plurality of projections (16) and notches (18). A second printing sleeve portion (10B) has a first and second end, and least one of the ends has a plurality of projections and notches. The plurality of projections and notches of the first printing sleeve portion interlocks with the plurality of projections and notches of the second printing sleeve portion.

Abstract: A print setup device that causes the values of items related to a print color to be applied to a second tab sheet (e.g., subchapter tab sheet) to be matched with the values of items related to a print color to be applied to a first tab sheet (e.g., chapter tab sheet) used for a first segmentation unit (e.g., “chapter”) that comprises a second segmentation unit (e.g., “subchapter”) for which said second tab sheet is used.

Abstract: The invention is a simple, inexpensive, wash-free integrated cover for a printing transfer cylinder (preferably, but not necessarily, in a Komori press), comprising a flexible jacket covering permanently attached to a cylinder base cover. The invention provides advantages over T-Y paper and non-tack film in that dampening solution, washing, and cleaning causes failure in both over time, whereas dampening solution is beneficial to the present invention as such is retained in the flexible jacket cover and helps to prevent ink buildup and marking. The flexible jacket covering is moveable relative to the cylinder base cover, thereby further reducing ink buildup and marking. The integrated cover is disposable, which reduces periodic maintenance and cleaning of the transfer cylinder coverings and provides for fresh, clean substrate support surfaces upon each new installation.

Abstract: A device for stacking selected sheets in an offset manner so as to facilitate print quality measurements. Certain sheets are automatically or manually selected to be offset deposited onto a stack of sheets so that an edge of the selected sheet including a number of printed measuring fields extends beyond other sheets in the stack. A measuring head transversely scans the measuring fields of the selected sheet for print quality measurements while subsequent sheets are stacked in the ordinary manner. Since subsequent sheets do not cover the extending edge of the selected sheet, sufficient time is provided to complete the scanning operation with a single measuring head without interrupting or slowing the normal stacking rate.
