conveyor belt Explanation: I rather suspect that what is meant by this is conveyor belt. Various conveyor belts feed paper in and out of the printer. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2010-11-29 15:05:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you google offset printing web transport you will find : http://books.google.nl/books?id=VrdqBRgSKasC&pg=PA154&lpg=PA... Your client may well have translated this correctly as web transport -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2010-11-29 15:06:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thus it may well be "web transport" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2010-11-29 15:07:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Web-fed offset printing appears in Google books under "Handbook of print media - technologies and production methods' page 154" |

web feeder system Explanation: As Harry said, the distinction is between sheet-fed and web-fed offset lithography. The `web` refers to the rolls of paper fed to the printing press. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/offset-printing4.htm web vs sheet http://www.kingswoodinks.com/news/item_1609.html http://wapedia.mobi/en/Offset_printing The actual process of printing is quite involved. One of the most important functions in the process is Pre-press Production. This basically the front end of things actually printing and makes sure that all files are correctly processed to be printed. This includes converting to the proper CMYK, finalizing the files, and creating plates for each color of the job to be run on the press. The sheet fed press consists different systems that complete the actual process; feeder system, printing system, inking/dampening system, and the delivery system. My suggestion for the term is `web feeder system` or 'web paper feed system' I hope this is useful. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-11-29 16:59:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This gives a nice illustration of the offset process: http://glossary.ippaper.com/default.asp?req=knowledge/articl... |
