What are the primary types of motion in printing applications?
There are a wide variety of printing applications, from simple onecolor printing to complex multicolor printing with registration. Most printing setups use a rotary print head that contains the image to be printed; typically, the print surface is a web of material. The web is often linear and can be any of a wide variety of materials including paper, plastic or poly film, corrugated, and so on. Ink is applied to the print head, and when it contacts the web, the image transfers to the target area.
