Abstract:
1. A manufacturing line for manufacturing a print belt comprising a support-forming strip, and a photopolymerized resin placed on one of the faces of the support-forming strip and forming printing characters, the manufacturing line comprising spreader means adapted to spread a liquid resin, photopolymerizer means adapted to solidify that portion of the resin that is to correspond to the printing characters, and remover means adapted to remove the non-photopolymerized resin from the surface on which it has been spread; wherein the spreader means are adapted to spread the resin directly on the top face of the support-forming strip, wherein the spreader means comprise temperature regulator means, adapted to regulate the temperature and the viscosity of the liquid resin, or wherein, in the spreader means, a slab supporting the support-forming strip comprises temperature regulator means, or wherein both the slab supporting the support-forming strip and the spreader means comprise temperature regulator means; wherein the photopolymerizer means are disposed downstream from the spreader means and comprise a photopolymerizing light source disposed above the resin; wherein the remover means are disposed downstream from the photopolymerizer means; and wherein drive means are adapted to drive the support-forming strip in translation in a longitudinal direction in such a manner that each of its transverse sections passes in succession in register with the spreader means, the photopolymerizer means, and the remover means.
