Printing device having a rotatable image-receiving support

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An improved printing device is provided with a rotatable, cylindrical image-receiving support having a number of image-forming stations disposed along the rotational path of the image-receiving support. In each image-forming station a separation image of a required image is generated and transferred in correct registration to the image-receiving support at an image-transfer zone.
