Abstract

An apparatus for accurate, precise and successive registration, indexing and printing of individual pre­ cut backed carpet tiles includes a central control and transport mechanism (20) and a plurality of tile pro­ cessing stations (30, 40, 50) adjacent one another and surrounding the central control and transport mechanism. A plurality of tile carriers (21) are movably and sequentially carried by the central control mechanism (20) for sequentially carrying individual carpet tiles to one or more of the processing stations. The pro­ cessing stations comprise a tile registration station (30), a printing station (40) and a tile unloading station (50). The apparatus also includes a steamer for fixing printed colorant on carpet tiles, a vacuum device for removing excess moisture from carpet tiles and a dryer for drying the carpet tiles.
