<p>A system and a method for producing displays such as signs and cards includes a continuous substrate of material (14) which is passed from a supply roller (12) to a take-up roller (16). A series of revolving cylinders (26a-26e) containing ink are positioned to sequentially contact the substrate (14) as the substrate material moves to the take-up roller (16). The surface (28) of each of the cylinders is perforated by a predetermined pattern (30a-30e) of holes. The ink contained in the cylinders moves through the holes in the surface and is applied to the substrate (14) as the cylinder revolves. The patterns laid down by the separate cylinders are thus added to create the final design. The color, nature and visual quality of the ink pattern formed on the substrate may be varied by changing the number of cylinders and the types of ink applied. <IMAGE></p> |
