Abstract
The printed products, overlapping one another in an imbricated manner, are moved, by means of the conveying device, past the first printing station in a conveying direction, where the first outer side of the printed products is provided with typographical labeling in the exposed border region. Before the printed products are guided past the second printing station, the border region of the second outer side of the printed products is exposed; for example by turning over the printed products. Printed products are then provided with typographical labeling in the border region by means of the second printing station.
Claims11
A process for typographically labeling printed products having first and second outer sides comprising the steps of individually clamping the printed products utilizing clamps of a conveying device, transporting the printed products in a conveying direction with imbricated overlapping along a path of travel, while printing typographical labeling on said first outer side at a first printing station located along the path of travel, and while printing typographical labeling on said second outer side at a second printing station located along the path of travel, and including the further step of exposing a region of at least one of the first and second outer sides which previously had been covered over by another printed product, with the exposing step occurring prior to the one outer side being typographically labeled.
An apparatus for the typographical labeling of printed products, comprising a conveying device comprising a plurality of clamps which are serially arranged and which are driven in circulation in a conveying direction along a continuous path of travel, with the printed products being retained individually by the clamps of the conveying device and conveyed with imbricated overlapping, a first printing station located along the path of travel for typographically labeling a first of two outer sides of the printed products, a second printing station located along the path of travel for typographically labeling a second of the two outer sides of printed products, said apparatus also comprising an arrangement provided upstream of at least one of the first and second printing stations for exposing a region of the printed products which is covered over by another printed product, said region being located in the outer side which is to be labeled typographically in the one of the printing stations.
