Abstract
An inline printing system comprising: a substrate feeder; an adhesive application station in communication with the substrate feeder and configured to coat a UV adhesive onto the substrate; a pressing station in communication with the adhesive application station and configured to apply laminate to the coated substrate; a UV curing station in communication with the pressing station and configured to cure the laminated substrate coated with the UV adhesive; and a digital print station in communication with the pressing station and configured to print on the laminated substrate.
Claims16
An inline printing system comprising:
- a substrate feeder;
- an adhesive application station in communication with the substrate feeder and configured to coat an adhesive onto a substrate to form a coated substrate;
- a pressing station in communication with the adhesive application station and configured to apply an inkjet receptive laminate onto the coated substrate;
- a curing station in communication with the pressing station and configured to cure the laminated substrate coated with the UV adhesive to form a multilayered substrate, wherein the multilayered substrate is inkjet receptive;
- and
- a digital print station in communication with the pressing station and configured to print on the multilayered substrate.
A method of inline digital printing comprising the steps of:
- coating a substrate printing material with a wet UV curable adhesive;
- applying inkjet receptive lamination to the substrate material coated with wet UV curable adhesive to produce a multilayered substrate;
- curing the multilayered substrate with UV radiation;
- and
- printing on the multilayered substrate to produce a digital print.
