ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for printing on compressible material providing cushioning means to prevent the compression or distortion of the compressible material while imparting thereto a clear printing impression. The apparatus comprises an image transfer station including a plate cylinder which is rotatably mounted and adapted to releasably mount thereon a printing plate. This image transfer station includes pressure means in the form of a cylinder which is coactive with the plate cylinder. A printing blanket is provided which travels between the plate cylinder and the pressure cylinder for receiving the image from the printing plate. The plate cylinder and the pressure cylinder have hard non-compressible surfaces. A further printing station is also combined in the apparatus and includes a pair of rotatably mounted cylinders, each of which is coated with a cushioning means and these cylinders are spaced apart for receiving therebetween the printing blanket and the compressible material, one side of which is in contact with the printing blanket to receive the image therefrom.
