  • a printing sheet After a printing sheet is provided with a two-dimensional adhesive application or an adhesive pattern, it is passed through the coating unit, wherein by means of the pressure roller, the pressure sheet resting on the impression cylinder is brought into contact with the film material.
  • the down-facing functional layer engages tightly with the adhesive-provided areas on the signature. Thereafter, the functional layer adheres only in the region of the pattern provided with adhesive or even adhesive areas over the entire surface, wherein the carrier film is removed from the functional layer in the region of the adhesive pattern.
  • the print sheet is laid out in the coated state.
  • cleaning devices in printing machines such as impression cylinder washing machines or blanket washing devices. These can be designed as cloth washing devices or brush washing devices, also in combination with extraction systems.
