- a desired thickness of a fluid layer printed on the substrate can be varied, for example, by changing a mass flow of the fluid through a slot nozzle of the slot die tool and / or by changing a rotational speed of the transfer roller. This makes it possible to set a desired color of printed on a substrate color without much effort. The selection and a change of anilox rolls are no longer necessary for this purpose. It can thus be significantly reduced the effort for printing a substrate.
- a "slot nozzle tool” is understood to mean a tool with which a fluid film having a predetermined thickness can be produced across a width of a slot nozzle.
- a slot nozzle tool is known, for example, from WO 2010/020594.

- fluid is understood to mean a fluid which can be imprinted on a substrate in the printing process. It can be in particular a printing ink or else a fluid for the production of organic semiconductors.
- substrate is generally understood to mean a material which has a printable, preferably flat, surface.
- the substrate can be a sheet-like material made of paper, plastic or a textile.
- the substrate may be a general cargo.
- the substrate may for example also be made of glass, corrugated board, cardboard or metal.
- the "printing cliché” can be a cliché that allows for high or low pressure.
- a width of the slot nozzle of the slot die tool is set such that a thickness of the fluid layer applied to the transfer roller is within a predetermined range across a width of the transfer roller.

- a thickness of an ink layer applied to the transfer roller By varying a thickness of an ink layer applied to the transfer roller, a hue can be adjusted.
- a thickness of the applied to the transfer roller fluid layer by means of a provided for conveying the fluid conveyor, for. As a pump or a pressure vessel controlled. With the conveyor, a mass flow of the exiting through the slot nozzle fluid can be varied.
- the thickness of the fluid layer can be varied by the rotational speed of the transfer roller. This also allows, for example, a simple and quick adjustment of a hue.
- the fluid is supplied to the slot nozzle tool via at least one feed channel and conveyed from there through a plurality of fan-shaped to the slot nozzle extending distribution channels, wherein a cross section of the distribution channels from the feed channel to the slot nozzle increases.
- By providing the fan-shaped to the slot nozzle extending distribution channels and their cross-sectional widening is achieved that the fluid is present at substantially the same pressure over the entire width of the slot nozzle at the slot nozzle.
- the production of a fluid film having a substantially constant thickness can be achieved.
- a thickness of the fluid layer applied to the transfer roller also has a substantially constant thickness over its width. This ensures a consistent print quality over the entire width of the substrate to be printed.
- downstream of a contact area between transfer and pressure roller still adhering to the transfer roller fluid residues are removed and fed to a collecting container.
- the fluid residues cover on the transfer roller those areas which have not been transferred to the printing plate.
- at least one doctor applied to the transfer roller can be used.
- the substrate is pressed by means of a rotating counter-pressure roller against the pressure roller.
- a flexible sheet material such as a plastic sheet, a paper sheet, a textile sheet or the like is used as the substrate.
- the counter-pressure roller is expediently driven. Ie.
- the substrate can be transported simultaneously with the counterpressure roller.
- the substrate printed with the fluid is dried.
- a drying device can be provided downstream of the pressure roller.
- an apparatus for printing a substrate with a printable fluid comprising a slot nozzle tool for generating and applying a fluid film to a rotatable transfer roller, a rotatable and a printing plate in contact with the transfer roller having printing roller for printing the transfer of the transfer roller on the printing plate fluid to a pressed against the substrate.
- the proposed device makes it possible to easily set a hue. For this it is not necessary to replace about the transfer roller.
- a thickness of a fluid layer applied to the transfer roller by means of the slit nozzle tool can be adjusted by changing the mass flow through the slit nozzle and / or changing a rotational speed of the transfer roller.
- a device for adjusting a width of the slot nozzle of the slot nozzle tool is provided. The choice of a suitable width of the slot nozzle depends on the fluid. If the fluid contains, for example, pigments, a width of the slot nozzle is adjusted so that it is not blocked by pigments or pigment agglomerates.
- the device for adjusting the width of the slot nozzle may be a device which is to be operated manually, but in particular may also be an electrically operated device.
- a thickness of the fluid layer applied to the transfer roller can be measured across the width of the transfer roller with a measuring device.
- the mass flow of the fluid through the slot nozzle can be automatically regulated by means of a suitable regulation, so that a fluid layer having a uniform thickness is applied across the width of the transfer roller. Also, the thickness of the fluid layer as a whole can be adjusted.
- a conveying device for conveying the fluid film to the slot nozzle tool.
- the conveyor is expediently designed so that so that the fluid can be promoted with a variable mass flow to the slot nozzle tool.
- the mass flow generated by the conveying device can be controlled or regulated as a function of a thickness of the fluid layer applied to the transfer roller.
