Field ribbon save
In principle the ribbon save is achieved by the way that the transfer
ribbon in phases in those no printing is effected stopped or
decelerated. If sufficient time is available, the transfer ribbon which
was not used for printing can be retracted to print on it afterwards.
The possibilities of ribbon save and in this way of the print quality are
to be connected with the available time which is needed for
decelerating and accelerating of transfer ribbon.
There are two different types of ribbon save:
It is tried to save transfer ribbon with gaps within the layout. Because
of the fact that the gaps are usually very small, only little time is
available. Therefore a feedback is not reasonable (lack of time).
The gaps between the layouts are optimised. Usually more time is
available here. The loss of transfer ribbon between the layouts which
result from accelerating and decelerating of transfer ribbon can be
corrected by means of the return.
