Abstract
An imaging system (12) for a printing press (10) having an imaging cylinder (44) having a magnetically addressable outer surface (46), a magnetically permeable film (48), a device (50) for passing the film (48) over at least a portion of the outer surface (46) of the imaging cylinder (44), a device (52) for writing magnetic information through the film (48) onto the outer surface (46) of the imaging cylinder (44), a device (56) for passing a magnetic particulate material (58) onto the film (48) over the magnetic information on the cylinder (44) to form an image (80) of the particulate material (58) on the film (48), and a device (62) for bonding the particulate material (58) onto the film (48).
Claims13
An imaging system for a printing press, comprising:
- an imaging device having an outer surface;
- a magnetically addressable film;
- means for passing the film adjacent the outer surface of the imaging device;
- means for writing magnetic information adjacent the outer surface of the imaging device onto the film;
- means for passing a magnetic particulate material onto a surface of the film to form an image from the particulate material;
- and
- means for bonding the particulate material onto the film, including a print cylinder having an outer surface, means for placing a segment of the film onto the outer surface of the print cylinder, and including means for severing the segments from the film.
