A processing device for processing at least one curved passing sheet, comprising:
- a stationary processing assembly for applying processing to said at least one curved passing sheet, said processing assembly being in a fixed point during said applying, said at least one curved passing sheet being curved around said processing assembly;
- and
- a feed assembly for passing said at least one curved passing sheet by said processing assembly via a non-linear path, along a first vector substantially parallel to a second vector around which said curved passing sheet being curved.
A method for processing at least one sheet using a device having an non linear feeding path and a stationary processing unit, comprising the steps of:
- a) curving at least one sheet;
- b) conveying said at least one sheet in a continuous motion through said non-linear feeding path along a first vector substantially parallel to a second vector around which said at least one sheet being curved;
- and
- c) using said stationary processing unit for processing one of said at least one sheet during said conveying, said stationary processing assembly being in a fixed point during said processing.
A processing device for processing at least one curved passing sheet, comprising:
- a processing assembly for applying processing to said at least one curved passing sheet;
- a feed assembly for passing said at least one curved passing sheet in by said processing assembly via a non-linear path, along a first vector substantially parallel to a second vector around which said curved passing sheet being curved;
- and a communication interface.
A processing device for processing at least one passing sheet, comprising:
- a stationary processing assembly for applying processing to said at least one passing sheet, said stationary processing assembly being in a fixed point during said processing;
- and
- a feed assembly for passing said at least one passing sheet by said processing assembly, wherein each one of the dimensions of said processing device is smaller than the width and length of said at least one passing sheet.
A printer for printing on at least one sheet in a continuous manner, comprising:
- a stationary processing assembly for applying processing to a printing area, said printing area having dimensions defined by length and width substantially smaller than the length and width dimensions of said at least one sheet for printing on said at least one sheet, said stationary processing assembly being in a fixed point during said processing;
- and
- a feed assembly for positioning areas of said at least one sheet by said printing area in a continuous unidirectional motion.
A printer device for printing on a passing sheet, comprising:
- a stationary inkjet printing assembly for applying processing to a printing area, said printing area having dimensions defined by length and width substantially smaller than the length and width dimensions of at least one passing sheet, said stationary processing assembly being in a fixed point during said processing;
- and
- a feed assembly for passing said passing sheet about said printing area using a single motor.
