PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the stop of a heat source during printing and the repeat of heat source actuation during the printing operation by providing a main delivery apparatus which heats a web sheet for printing, introduces the sheet by changing over to a heater and an auxiliary delivery apparatus, embosses the heated sheet, and takes up the sheet. SOLUTION: The first and the second printing machines A1, A2 for printing a pattern and coloring on web sheets w1, w2 respectively and a heater C which introduces one of the sheets w1, w2 for printing and then the other and can heat and expand them are provided. Besides, a change-over apparatus G which takes up one web sheet by an auxiliary delivery apparatus D before heating while the other is being introduced and introduces the sheet by switching over to the heater C and the apparatus D, an embossing apparatus E, and a main delivery apparatus F are provided. Continuous printing, foaming, and embossing can be done efficiently without stopping the web sheet which is introduced to the heater and the embossing apparatus during operation. |
