ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system and method for printing signature books (29). The system includes a plurality of feeders (10) for delivering signatures (30) to a conveyor (12) so as to progressively build up books of signatures (29). The apparatus further includes a signature printing station (16) located downstream of the feeder means (10) and adjacent plate-like members (48) for printing substantially simultaneously on two or more pages (31, 33), such as a cover (33), and an inside page (31), of a book of signatures (29).
The method of the present invention includes the steps of delivering the signatures (30) onto a moving conveyor (12) from a plurality of feeders (10) and conveying the signatures (30) in a downstream direction so as to progressively build up books of signatures (29). The method further includes the steps of selecting a signature (30) from one of the feeders (10), opening each book of signatures at the selected signature (30), and substantially simultaneously printing information on two or more pages (31, 33), such as a cover page (33) and an inside page (31), of a book of signatures (29).
