Abstract:
A press assembly has a plurality of processing stations for the processing of sheets. These processing stations are arranged in sucession in a transport direction of the sheets for inline processing of the sheets. At least one of these processing stations is a non-impact printing unit and at least one processing station downstream of the non-impact printing unit is embodied as a dryer. At least one additional processing station is embodied as a coating unit. The coating unit is configured for applying a coating in a form of a varnish to each sheet. A plurality of individually controlled, non-impact printing units are arranged along the transport path of the sheets. Each of the plurality of non-impact printing units is configured as an ink jet printer.

Claim (Index 1):
A press assembly having a plurality of processing stations for the processing of sheets, wherein a plurality of processing stations ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  06 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) are arranged in succession in the transport direction (T) of the sheets for the inline processing of said sheets, wherein at least one of these processing stations ( 06 ) is embodied as a non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) and at least one processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  06 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) downstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets is embodied as a dryer ( 07 ;  09 ), wherein at least one additional processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) downstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets is embodied as a coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ), wherein the downstream coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ) in question is configured for applying a coating in form of a varnish to each sheet, wherein a plurality of individually controlled non-impact printing units ( 06 ) are arranged along the transport path of the sheets, wherein each of the plurality of non-impact printing units ( 06 ) is configured as an inkjet printer, characterized in that at least one processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) upstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets is embodied as a coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ), wherein the upstream coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ) in question is configured for applying a coating in form of a primer or a cold foil to each sheet, wherein a dryer ( 07 ;  09 ) is located downstream of each of the at least one processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) that is situated upstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets and is embodied as a coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ) for applying a primer or a cold foil, and downstream of each of the at least one processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) that is situated downstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets and is embodied as a coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ) for applying a varnish, wherein the dryer ( 07 ;  09 ) in question located downstream of the processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) that is configured as a coating unit ( 02 ;  03 ;  08 ) for applying a primer or a cold foil is configured for drying the sheet in question by means of irradiation with infrared radiation and by means of hot air, wherein at least one processing station ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) located upstream or downstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets is embodied as a printing unit ( 04 ) that imprints each of the sheets with at least one print image by means of an offset printing method or a flexographic printing method or a screen printing method, wherein each of said processing stations ( 01 ;  02 ;  03 ;  04 ;  06 ;  07 ;  08 ;  09 ;  11 ;  12 ) is configured as an independently functional module.
