20140360391 | APPARATUS FOR APPLYING INDICIA ON WEB SUBSTRATES - A contact printing system for printing X colors upon a web substrate is disclosed. The contact printing system comprises X-Y printing components where X and Y are whole numbers, 01. Each of the printing components comprises a gravure cylinder having a plurality of discrete gravure cells disposed within a surface thereof. A first portion of a fluid is displaceable into a first portion of discrete gravure cells from at least one channel extending from a position external to the gravure cylinder. A second portion of the fluid is displaceable into a second portion of the plurality of discrete gravure cells from the at last one channel. The gravure roll, including at least one channel and the plurality of discrete cells, is formed such that the gravure roll has a unibody construction and there are no moving parts interior to the gravure roll. | 12-11-2014 |

A gravure cylinder having a plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof. A first portion of a first fluid and a second portion of a second fluid are disposed from a respective channel disposed internal to the gravure cylinder. The gravure cylinder, including the first and second at least one channels and the plurality of discrete cells, is formed so that the gravure cylinder has a unibody construction and has no moving parts interior to the gravure cylinder. | 12-11-2014 |
20140360393 | APPARATUS FOR APPLYING INDICIA ON WEB SUBSTRATES - A contact printing system is disclosed. A gravure cylinder having a plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof. A first portion of a first fluid and a second portion of a second fluid are disposed from a respective channel disposed internal to the gravure cylinder. The gravure cylinder, including the first and second at least one channels and the plurality of discrete cells, is formed so that the gravure cylinder has a unibody construction and has no moving parts interior to the gravure cylinder. | 12-11-2014 |
20150336374 | APPARATUS FOR APPLYING INDICIA ON WEB SUBSTRATES - A contact printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having first, second, and third pluralities of discrete cells disposed in a respective first, second, and third distribution upon the outer surface of the gravure cylinder is disclosed. The first, second, and third pluralities of discrete cells each receives a respective first, second, and third portion of a respective first, second, and third fluid from a respective first, second, and third at least one channel disposed internal to the gravure cylinder. The first, second, and third at least one channels each have a single entry point at the respective first, second, and third positions external to the gravure cylinder and a discrete exit point at the respective first, second, and third plurality of discrete cells. The first, second, and third plurality of discrete cells are disposed adjacent each other and are randomly distributed upon the outer surface of the gravure cylinder. | 11-26-2015 |
20150337495 | WEB SUBSTRATES - A web substrate having at least one ply is disclosed. At least one outer surface of the web substrate has indicia comprising at least one ink disposed thereon and substantially affixed thereto. The indicia comprise a first distribution of indicium having a halftone of a first value and a second distribution of indicium having a halftone of a second value. The first and second values are different. | 11-26-2015 |
20150343480 | CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND DEPOSITING FLUIDS - A rotating roll for depositing a fluid on a substrate is disclosed. The rotating roll can have a central longitudinal axis, wherein the rotating roll rotates about the central longitudinal axis. The rotating roll can have an exterior surface defining an interior region and a vascular network configured for transporting the fluid in predetermined paths from an interior region to the exterior surface of the rotating roll. The vascular network can have a main artery, a first capillary and a plurality of fluid exits on the exterior surface. The main artery can have an inlet and is substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the rotating roll. Fluid enters the vascular network at the inlet and exits through substantially radial fluid paths to form a first tree. | 12-03-2015 |
