Provided is a jacket to be installed on a surface of one of impression cylinders and transport cylinders. The jacket is produced by the following process. Super hard particles, such as ceramic particles, are scattered on a surface of a sheet-shaped base member. A plating layer is then formed on the surface of the base member in a way that a convex and concave profile formed of the super hard particles is left. In the plating layer, fine particles of low surface energy resin are uniformly dispersed. |

In a printing press and attached onto the transfer cylinders, an anti-marking system that uniformly supports the transport and the release of the wet printed sheet from one station to the next. The anti-marking sheet consists of a two plus layer system, the outer layer being a textured surface and the inner layer being a microcellular material that is both compressible and resilient. The outer textured layer may be treated with either conductive/anti-static layers or an ink repellent layer or both. The two plus layer system is easily attached to both transfer cylinders and tracking/skeleton wheels using any combination of fixtures from Velcro™, magnetic, metallic, and pressure sensitive double sided tape to elastic loops. |

An ultraviolet drying device (37) and a photoelectric sensor (70) for detecting the outer surface of a transport cylinder (36) are provided at a position close to the outer surface of the transport cylinder (36) arranged downstream in a sheet-like material convey direction of a reverse printing unit (11) for subsequent printing. When the ultraviolet drying device (37) is turned on and the photoelectric sensor (70) detects that a contamination-preventive member is mounted on the outer surface of the transport cylinder (36), the driving of a printing press stops. Also, when an IR lamp (46) of an infrared drying device (47) is turned on and the photoelectric sensor (70) detects that the contamination-preventive member is not mounted on the outer surface of the transport cylinder (36), the driving of the printing press is stopped. With this arrangement, deformation of the contamination-preventive member mounted to protect the cylinder is prevented in a liquid transfer apparatus. |

A print substrate-contacting element having an ink-repellent coating on a surface of a microstructured carrier is described, the coating including at least one derivative of an amphiphilic organic compound whose polar region has an acidic character. A method for coating a surface of a microstructured carrier of a print substrate-contacting element is distinguished by the application of an amount of substance, which includes at least one derivative of an amphiphilic organic compound whose polar region has an acidic character, by treating the surface with an alcoholic solution of the amount of substance. The print substrate-contacting element can very advantageously be the surface of a back-pressure cylinder in a print substrate-processing machine, in particular in a printing press. The coating method can be carried out in a print substrate-processing machine. |
