Printer substrate edge trimming

摘要

According to one example of the present invention there is provided a printer for a printing on a roll of substrate. The printer comprises a substrate support for receiving a roll of substrate, a drive mechanism for driving substrate from a roll of substrate when installed on the substrate support through a print writing module, and a substrate edge trimming module for trimming the longitudinal edges of a substrate prior to the substrate passing through the print writing module.

主权项

1. A printer for a printing on a roll of substrate, the printer comprising:
a substrate support for receiving a roll of substrate; a drive mechanism for driving substrate from the roll of substrate through a print writing module; a substrate edge trimming module for trimming the longitudinal edges of the substrate prior to the substrate passing through the print writing module, wherein the substrate edge trimming module comprises:
a pair of edge trimming mechanisms, each edge trimming mechanism of the pair of edge trimming mechanisms being positioned to receive the longitudinal edges of the substrate, the longitudinal edges being opposite each edge of the substrate, the substrate edge trimming module being configured to trim the longitudinal edges in the direction of the transfer of the substrate through the print writing module; and an edge sealer module for applying heat to trimmed substrate edges.
