International Classification:

B41F 110

US Classification:

101490

Abstract:

A method for mounting a substrate having a first image printed thereon on a digital printer to be used to print a second image in a desired alignment with the first image, wherein the first image is printed on the substrate using a nondigital process. The first image is related to a second image to form a composite image. First, registration holes in a template are placed over registration pins on the digital printer, thereby mounting the template on the printer. The second image is printed on the template using the digital printer, and the template is then removed from the digital printer. Registration holes of substrate leaders and the registration holes of the template are placed over registration pins extending from a work surface. The substrate is then positioned with respect to the substrate leaders and the template at a desired location where the first image on the substrate aligns with the second image on the template. The substrate leader is then secured to the substrate at the desired location.

Abstract:

A method for mounting a substrate having a first image printed thereon on a digital printer to be used to print a second image in a desired alignment with the first image. The first image is printed on the substrate at a first location different from a location of the digital printer. A template is mounted on the digital printer, and then, the digital printer is used to print a second image on the template. Thereafter, the substrate is placed on the digital printer with respect to template, and the first image on the substrate is aligned with the second image on the template. Thereafter, the substrate is secured on the digital printer at a location where the first image on the substrate aligns with the one of the second image on the template. Thus, the digital printer can then be used to print the second image on the substrate in alignment with the first image.
