Description

[0001] "Process, print product and web image"

[0002] State of the art In the case of a printed product on a carrier material such as paper, wherein the printed product reproduces a motif or image motif which serves to form a web image reproducing the image motif, the problem arises of a reproduction of the image motif on the finished web image which is distorted by the weaving.

[0003] In the case of printed products or printing processes based on stored data of a printed image motif on which the printed product is based, the printed product or its properties can be produced in a manner adapted accordingly using the printing process.

[0004] Object and advantages of the invention The object of the present invention is to advantageously provide a method, a printed product, and a woven image. In particular, it should be possible to provide a printed product, e.g., for a craft kit for producing a woven image, from which, after weaving from printed strips, an image motif, such as a photorealistic image, is reproduced almost perfectly.

[0005] This object is achieved by the independent claims. The dependent claims address expedient and advantageous developments of the invention. The invention is based on a method for producing a printed product by a printing method, wherein the printed product comprises a thin carrier material, wherein an electronically provided print file is used which provides data for an image motif. Various printing methods can be considered as printing methods that can be used for the method. For example, a digital printing method or any other printing method for producing images is suitable for the present method.

[0006] For the present process, a printed product that can be produced with it, and a web image that can be put together from the printed product, different printable materials can be used as a carrier material. For example, a flat, comparatively thin medium or material can be used. For example, a carrier material can be used, e.g. based on fibers of plant origin, such as a paper fiber or a paper carrier material, or a carrier material based on a wood material, or a carrier material based on a plastic, or a carrier material based on a metal material, or a carrier material based on a textile product, or a carrier material based on a composite material or a composite material.

[0007] The thickness of the substrate material, which is generally uniform across the entire surface of the substrate, is, for example, between a fraction of a millimeter and, for example, one to two millimeters.

[0008] The essence of the invention is that with the print file, two print areas are printed on the carrier material which differ from each other, whereby both print areas are each formed from the data of the image motif and each print area reproduces at least a section of the image motif.The printed product is manufactured in such a way that the printed product serves to form a flat woven image from longitudinal strips and transverse strips crossed and woven at right angles, wherein a Cartesian coordinate system with a first coordinate direction, for example a longitudinal direction or a transverse direction, and with a second coordinate direction is used, wherein the first coordinate direction and the second coordinate direction are at right angles to one another, with a first coordinate direction of the mutually parallel longitudinal strips and a second coordinate direction of the mutually parallel transverse strips, wherein the longitudinal strips and the transverse strips can be produced from the printed product as printed carrier material strips separated from one another in the longitudinal direction of the strips.A visible side of the finished woven image is visible to a person as a replica of the underlying image motif, wherein the first printing area of ​​the printed product is produced and wherein the second printing area of ​​the printed product is produced such that all longitudinal stripes running parallel in the first coordinate direction of the woven image are created from the first printing area and wherein all transverse stripes running parallel in the second coordinate direction of the woven image are created from the second printing area.The first printing area of ​​the printed product and the second printing area of ​​the printed product are designed to be coordinated with one another in such a way that the image motif on the visible side of the web image is reproduced completely and correctly in the finished web image, the entire image motif being divided into a plurality of rectangular image sections, the first printing area serving to provide all longitudinal strips whose longitudinal axes run in the first coordinate direction. In the first coordinate direction between two adjacent image sections on the longitudinal strip, an identical distance on the longitudinal strip is always taken into account, the distance depending on the material thickness of the carrier material. For example, all longitudinal strips in the first printing area have the same uniform distance. The distance is realized, for example, by a strip-shaped area on the longitudinal strip.The distance is calculated and is always identical in the longitudinal direction of a considered longitudinal strip, or of all longitudinal strips, between two adjacent image sections along the longitudinal strip. This applies to the first printing area. For example, the distance that can be specified by the method depends on the material thickness of the carrier material and / or the flexural strength of the carrier material. For example, other properties of the carrier material, e.g. technological or mechanical properties, also determine the value of the distance. For example, the distance is 0.98 millimeters for a thickness of the paper carrier material of, for example, 0.14 millimeters and a factor of 7, which is multiplied by the thickness value.

[0009] For example, the distance on the longitudinal strip is in the range of 5 to 15 percent of the length of an image section

[0010] The calculated image sections are printed one after the other in the longitudinal direction on the longitudinal strips and on the transverse strips or are present in the printed product.

[0011] This solves the problem of image offsets or image motif offsets at the transitions between adjacent edges of one image section and the next. An image offset, and thus a distorted representation of the image motif, would otherwise result if two identical images with the same image motif were printed, the first image were cut into parallel vertical stripes and the second image into parallel horizontal stripes, and these were then interwoven at right angles to each other.

[0012] For example, the two print areas differ from each other in size, such as the length and / or width, and / or the printed content or the visual representation of the respective print area. The entire image motif, for example, is divided into a multitude of image sections.

[0013] By specifying and creating a large number of pre-calculated image sections, it is possible to correct a possible offset in the subsequent web image. The otherwise visible offset is in a looping path of two interwoven strip sections of :the carrier material. The calculation of the offset and any corresponding correction through the spacing on all longitudinal strips is based on material factors of the carrier material and / or technology factors of the carrier material, whereby the wrap path is taken into account. The material factors and / or the technology factors of the carrier material influence the wrap path and thus the offset that would otherwise be visible on the visible side of the woven image when the strips are woven. Technology factors of the carrier material are, for example, mechanical properties of the carrier material under stress on the carrier material.

[0014] The wrapping path depends, for example, on the strength or thickness of the carrier material, for example on the paper strength or paper thickness if the carrier material is, for example, a paper carrier material.

[0015] The wrap path depends, for example, on the behavior of the carrier material with regard to deformation, such as during weaving. The wrap path depends, for example, on the bending strength of the carrier material. The wrap path depends, for example, on the bending strength of the paper if the carrier material is a paper carrier material.

[0016] On a printed or visible side of a strip, e.g., each strip of the vertical and horizontal strips, several square cutouts are defined. The square cutouts, positioned correctly, each define a section of the overall image motif.

[0017] In this case, square sections alternate along a strip's length. For example, on a cross-strip, in the first lengthwise direction, a square section, which in the later weaving image is provided by the strip in question or the cross-strip, is followed by a next square section, which is provided by a strip perpendicular to the cross-strip, i.e. a lengthwise strip, as a visible square section of the weaving image. Then, on the cross-strip, another square section follows, which is provided by the cross-strip, in the later weaving image by the same cross-strip, as a visible square section of the weaving image.

[0018] The same applies to all other horizontal stripes.

[0019] In all longitudinal stripes, a square section as the visible square section of the later weaving image and a visible square section of the later weaving image formed by a transverse stripe alternate.

[0020] For example, an invisible square section of the later web image on a strip is only partially printed, completely printed or not printed.

[0021] With partial printing, for example, a central area of ​​the square cutout not visible in the web image is either not printed or is printed in a uniform color, such as white, or with another print that differs from the image motif. An edge area of ​​the square cutout, for example, a border area surrounding the central area, is printed according to the image motif present there. This eliminates any potentially visually noticeable missing motifs or gaps in the image between adjacent strips in the final web image.

[0022] It is not excluded that the vertical and / or horizontal stripes may be printed continuously, e.g. across all image sections based on the image motif.

[0023] A longitudinal stripe or its longitudinal axis is aligned at right angles to a transverse stripe or its longitudinal axis. For example, all longitudinal stripes are aligned at right angles to the transverse stripes, in particular to all transverse stripes. The longitudinal stripes are aligned with their respective longitudinal axes relative to the Cartesian coordinate system or the web image at right angles to the respective longitudinal axes of the transverse stripes.

[0024] For example, the entire visible side of the web image is formed exclusively by the image sections on the vertical stripes and the image sections on the horizontal stripes, for example, exclusively by image sections on the vertical and horizontal stripes. For example, the areas corresponding to the distance between two image sections on the vertical stripes are not part of the visible part of the web image.

[0025] The weave is based on a two-stripe system. The vertical and horizontal stripes alternately wrap around exactly one other strip at the bottom, then at the top, and so on.

[0026] For example, the distance is calculated from the thickness of the carrier material multiplied by a factor, where the factor takes on values ​​between 5.5 and 8.5. The identical distance, which in the first coordinate direction between two adjacent image sections on the longitudinal strip is always taken into account as an identical distance on the longitudinal strip, is calculated from a first factor between 5.5 and 8.5 and the second factor according to the thickness of the carrier material by multiplying the two factors. This achieves an almost ideal optical result for the created woven image. For example, the printing areas are created in such a way that the entire image motif in the finished woven image is divided into a plurality of square image sections, with outer sides of the image sections running parallel to the second coordinate direction and further outer sides of the image sections running parallel to the first coordinate direction.

[0027] For example, all image sections that make up the finished woven pattern are formed by image sections on the vertical and horizontal stripes. For example, the woven pattern is formed exclusively by image sections on the vertical and horizontal stripes.

[0028] On the visible side of the final woven image, for example, image sections alternate in the respective coordinate direction, differing in dimensions within, for example, tenths of a millimeter for standard paper materials. All image sections provided by the vertical stripes in the woven image are identical in size. All image sections provided by the horizontal stripes in the woven image are identical in size.

[0029] For example, all visible quadrilaterals on the web image are square or rectangular, with long sides and shorter wide sides. Alternatively, rectangular and square quadrilaterals are formed on the web image. A visible rectangle has two opposite ones. For example, wide sides of the quadrilaterals on the long stripes border on long sides of quadrilaterals on the cross stripes in the finished web image. Accordingly, long sides of the quadrilaterals on the long stripes border on wide sides of quadrilaterals on the cross stripes in the finished web image. For example, a visible quadrilateral of the web image that is formed by a long stripe differs in one side length from a side length of a quadrilateral that is formed on the web image by a quadrilateral on a cross stripe. For example, a long side of a quadrilateral on a long stripe runs in the first coordinate direction.For example, a long side of a visible quadrilateral of the web image formed by a longitudinal stripe, e.g. in the first coordinate direction, is longer than a long side of a quadrilateral running in the second coordinate direction and formed on the web image by a quadrilateral on a transverse stripe.

[0030] For example, all visible squares on the web image formed by the longitudinal stripes are identical or almost identical to each other.

[0031] For example, all visible squares on the web image formed by the horizontal stripes are identical or almost identical to each other.

[0032] For example, all visible squares on the web image that are formed by the vertical stripes have a longer long side than the long sides of the squares that are formed by the horizontal stripes.

[0033] For example, all of the image sections of the image motif that together make up the image motif are formed by the totality of all image sections on the vertical stripes together with all of the image sections on the horizontal stripes. For example, the entire visible woven image is formed exclusively by the totality of all image sections on the vertical stripes and on the horizontal stripes. In other words, areas on the vertical stripes and on the horizontal stripes that are present between the sections facing outwards on the visible side in the woven image are not visible on the visible side in the finished woven image, in particular because they are hidden by another stripe.

[0034] For example, mutually facing longitudinal edges of two adjacent longitudinal strips are formed adjacent to one another. For example, mutually facing longitudinal edges of two adjacent longitudinal strips are formed directly adjacent to one another. For example, the longitudinal strips are formed with mutually facing longitudinal edges extending in the first coordinate direction and directly adjacent to one another. This relates to the first printing area. For example, in the first printing area, an infinitesimally small thickness of a dividing line results in the longitudinal direction of the strip or in the first coordinate direction of the longitudinal strips or in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal strips between two adjacent longitudinal strips.

[0035] For example, in the associated first printing area, a dimension of the printing area in the second coordinate direction, for example a width dimension, is not changed compared to a width dimension of the underlying image motif. For example, in the associated first printing area, a dimension of the printing area in the second coordinate direction, for example a width dimension with a comparatively small excess compared to a width dimension of the underlying image motif; the comparatively small excess of the first printing area in the second coordinate direction, whereby the first printing area forms the longitudinal stripes, is predetermined, for example, by electronic image processing of the first printing area. The comparatively small excess of the first printing area in the second coordinate direction is dependent, for example, on an overall width of the image motif in this direction.The comparatively small oversize of the first printing area in the second coordinate direction is, for example, between 0.06% and 0.33%. For example, the oversize of the first printing area in the second coordinate direction is between 0.1 and 0.5 millimeters for an image width of 15.5 centimeters.

[0036] For example, an intermediate strip is formed between two transverse strips in the first coordinate direction and is made up of the carrier material of the second printing area. The intermediate strip is not printed, is partially printed, or is fully printed. In the second printing area, this means that, for example, an identical distance is created between all adjacent transverse strips thanks to the intermediate strip. The intermediate strip is printed, for example, as a printed overprint in order to compensate for production differences, for example. The respective, for example identical, width of the intermediate strips that run parallel between two adjacent transverse strips is, for example, between 10 and 40 percent of a width of a transverse strip that results transversely to the longitudinal extent of the transverse strip or in the first coordinate direction.

[0037] Accordingly, for example, the two transverse stripes are formed spaced apart from one another in the first coordinate direction by the intermediate stripe. The spacing is, for example, determined by the width of the intermediate stripe in the first coordinate direction. The spacing is helpful, for example, for easier separation of the transverse stripes from the second printing area, for example, with scissors, and / or for the subsequent weaving process of the longitudinal stripes with the transverse stripes to form the woven image.

[0038] Advantageously, an area on a longitudinal strip or an area on a transverse strip, wherein the area is not reproduced on the visible side of the web image, is not printed or at least partially not printed or is not printed according to the image motif.

[0039] The area not reproduced on the visible side of the woven image is, for example, printed in white or printed with a different color that contrasts with adjacent sections. The invention extends to a printed product made from a printed carrier material, wherein the printed product is produced according to a printing process based on data of an image motif, wherein the printed product has two printing areas on the carrier material that differ from one another, wherein both printing areas are each formed from the data of the image motif and each printing area reproduces at least a section of the image motif, wherein the printed product serves to form a flat woven image from perpendicularly crossed and woven longitudinal stripes and transverse stripes, with a first coordinate direction of the mutually parallel longitudinal stripes and a second coordinate direction of the mutually parallel transverse stripes,wherein the longitudinal stripes and the transverse stripes are produced from the printed product as printed carrier material strips separated from one another in the longitudinal direction of the strips, wherein a visible side of the finished woven image is visible to a person as a replica of the underlying image motif, wherein all longitudinal stripes running parallel in the first coordinate direction of the woven image are produced from the first printing area, and wherein all transverse stripes running parallel in the second coordinate direction of the woven image are produced from the second printing area, wherein the first printing area of ​​the printed product and the second printing area of ​​the printed product are designed in such a way that the image motif on the visible side of the woven image is reproduced completely and correctly in the finished woven image, wherein the entire image motif is divided into a plurality of square image sections,wherein the first printing area serves to provide all longitudinal strips whose longitudinal axes run in the first coordinate direction, wherein in the first,

[0040] In the coordinate direction, an identical distance is always maintained between two adjacent image sections on the longitudinal strip, whereby the distance depends on the thickness of the carrier material. The printed product is produced, for example, using a digital printing process. The printed product is printed or produced, for example, using one of the processes described above.

[0041] This forms the basis for creating a woven pattern from the vertical and horizontal stripes, allowing for an ideal reproduction of the underlying woven pattern. For example, the printed product serves as the starting point for a craft kit for manually entertaining the handicraft of creating a woven pattern from crisscrossed and interwoven printed strips.

[0042] For example, the two printing areas have carrier material areas that adjoin the strips lengthwise and / or crosswise. This serves, for example, to fix the strips and the printing area to a sheet of carrier material and to facilitate handling during the creation of the web image.

[0043] For example, the printed product has a first printed print area and a second printed print area on the carrier material, which are different from each other, both print areas being based on a common image motif, with longitudinal stripes from the first print area being

[0044] Carrier material can be provided and wherein the second

[0045] Printing area cross stripes can be provided from the carrier material, so that a flat woven image made up of vertically crossed and woven vertical stripes and cross stripes can be formed from the vertical stripes and the cross stripes of the printed product, whereby in the finished woven image the image motif on the visible side of the woven image is reproduced completely and correctly.

[0046] By way of example, the longitudinal stripes are parallel to one another in the first coordinate direction. By way of example, the transverse stripes are parallel to one another in the second coordinate direction. It is also by way of example that the longitudinal stripes have opposite parallel longitudinal edges that are separated from adjacent areas of the printed product.

[0047] The opposite parallel longitudinal edges of the longitudinal strips are, for example, cut free. The opposite parallel longitudinal edges of the longitudinal strips are, for example, prepared in such a way that the longitudinal strips are cut free on both sides in the longitudinal direction from an approaching area of ​​the carrier material, for example from adjacent edges of an adjacent longitudinal strip.

[0048] For example, the transverse stripes have opposite parallel longitudinal edges that are separated from adjacent areas of the printed product.

[0049] The opposite parallel longitudinal edges of the transverse strips are, for example, cut free. The opposite parallel longitudinal edges of the transverse strips are, for example, prepared in such a way that the transverse strips are cut free on both sides in the longitudinal direction from an approaching area of ​​the carrier material, for example from adjacent edges of an adjacent intermediate strip. For example, all transverse strips have an intermediate strip between two adjacent transverse strips. For example, all intermediate strips between two adjacent transverse strips in the second printing area have the same strip width.

[0050] For example, a front end of the longitudinal strip is connected to an area of ​​the printed product that borders a longitudinal strip. The area of ​​the printed product is formed, for example, by carrier material.

[0051] For example, both opposite longitudinal ends of the longitudinal strips are connected to the adjacent area of ​​the printed product. For example, the longitudinal strips in the first printed area remain connected to the surrounding carrier material at the end faces.

[0052] For example, both longitudinal ends of a longitudinal strip, e.g. all longitudinal strips, are connected to the carrier material and each longitudinal strip is cut free from the carrier material on both sides over its entire length.

[0053] This makes it easier to create the web image and handle the printed product.

[0054] For example, a front end of the transverse strip is connected to an area of ​​the printed product that borders on a transverse strip. The area of ​​the printed product is formed, for example, by carrier material.

[0055] This provides an advantageous structure for the later web image.

[0056] For example, both longitudinal ends of a cross strip, e.g. all cross strips, are connected to the carrier material and each cross strip is cut free from the carrier material on both sides over its entire length.

[0057] To produce the woven image, for example, only the transverse stripes are separated on both sides from the carrier material that surrounds the second printing area, and the resulting transverse stripes are woven through the parallel, side-by-side longitudinal stripes.

[0058] For example, a marking is provided along the end face of a longitudinal strip and / or along the end face of a transverse strip, allowing a visually recognizable assignment of the respective longitudinal strip or transverse strip with respect to its position in the first coordinate direction and / or second coordinate direction. This facilitates the subsequent production of the web image.

[0059] It is also the case, for example, that information is printed outside the area of ​​the longitudinal stripe and / or outside the area of ​​the transverse stripe.

[0060] The information serves, for example, to support the creation of the web image, e.g. with the line number of the respective horizontal stripe and / or vertical stripe and / or a color marking to distinguish or assign the vertical or horizontal stripes in the web image.

[0061] Finally, a woven image made of strips of a carrier material is proposed, wherein the flat woven image is formed from perpendicularly crossed and woven longitudinal strips and transverse strips, with a first coordinate direction of the mutually parallel longitudinal strips and a second coordinate direction of the mutually parallel transverse strips, wherein the longitudinal strips and the transverse strips are created from a printed product as carrier material strips separated from one another in the longitudinal direction of the strips and printed, wherein a visible side of the finished woven 'woven image is visible to a person as a replica of an underlying image motif, wherein the printed product has a first printing area from which all longitudinal strips running parallel in the first coordinate direction of the woven image can be created and wherein the printed product has a second printing area,from which all transverse stripes running parallel in the second coordinate direction of the web image can be created, wherein the first printing area of ​​the printed product and the second printing area of ​​the printed product are designed to match one another in such a way that in the finished web image the image motif on the visible side of the web image is reproduced completely and correctly, wherein the entire image motif is divided into a plurality of square image sections, wherein the first printing area serves to provide all longitudinal stripes whose longitudinal axes run in the first coordinate direction, wherein in the first coordinate direction between two adjacent image sections on the longitudinal strip there is always an identical distance on the,

[0062] Longitudinal stripes are taken into account, whereby the distance depends on the material thickness of the carrier material.

[0063] The web image reproduces the underlying image motif almost perfectly.

[0064] For example, both print areas are each formed from the data of the image motif and each print area displays image sections of the image motif.

[0065] For example, a frame-like border around the weave pattern is provided, which connects to the longitudinal ends of the vertical stripes and the longitudinal ends of the horizontal stripes. This creates an aesthetically pleasing overall impression of the finished weave pattern.

[0066] Character description

[0067] Further features and advantages of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments. In detail: Fig. 1 shows a first printing area of ​​a printed product,

[0068] Fig. 2 shows a second printing area of ​​the printed product and

[0069] Fig. 3 shows a web image formed from the printing areas according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Figures 1 and 2 show a printed product 1 produced by a printing process, wherein the printed product 1 comprises a thin carrier material 2, wherein an electronically provided print file is used which provides data of an image motif 3.

[0070] The printed product 1 comprises two printing areas, a first printing area 4 and a second printing area 5, which are formed by printed areas of the carrier material 2.

[0071] The two print areas 4 and 5 differ from each other in size, or rather, in their dimensions, and in the printed content. Both print areas 4 and 5 are each formed from the data of the image motif 3. Each of the two print areas 4 and 5 reproduces a section of the image motif 3, in a multitude of rectangular sections or image sections of the image motif 3.

[0072] The printed product 1 serves to form a flat woven image 6 from perpendicularly crossed and woven longitudinal strips 7 and transverse strips 8. The mutually parallel longitudinal strips 7 are, for example, all the same length and all the same width. The longitudinal strips 7 comprise, for example, the longitudinal strips 7. 1 to 7. 13. The mutually parallel transverse strips 8 are, for example, all the same length and all the same width. The transverse strips 8 comprise, for example, the transverse strips 8. 1 to 8. 17.

[0073] A Cartesian coordinate system is used to define the strip arrangement consisting of the longitudinal strips 7 and the transverse strips 8.

[0074] The Cartesian coordinate system includes a first

[0075] Coordinate direction and a second coordinate direction. The first coordinate direction and the second coordinate direction are perpendicular to each other. The coordinate system includes, for example, a longitudinal direction L and, for example, a transverse direction Q, where L and Q are perpendicular to each other.

[0076] The longitudinal strips 7 are aligned in the first coordinate direction L and the transverse strips 8 are aligned in the second coordinate direction Q. The longitudinal strips 7 and the transverse strips 8 can be produced from the printed product 4 or 5 as printed strips of carrier material separated from one another in the longitudinal direction of the strip. For example, with common paper carrier materials and image formats, e.g. in a DIN A4 or DIN A3 format, a width b of the first printing area 4 in the second coordinate direction Q (see Fig. 1) is, for example, between 0.1 and 0.5 millimeters greater than the width of the original image motif or the underlying image motif. From an image center BM, the additional width is identical up to the respective end point of the width of the first printing area 4. The width b of the first printing area 4 is generated electronically. This realizes electronic image distortion.

[0077] For example, with common paper carrier materials and image formats, e.g. in DIN A4 or DIN A3 format, the length 1 of the first printing area 4 in the first coordinate direction L is, for example, 0.5 millimeters greater than the length of the original image motif or the underlying image motif. For example, this compensates for or can compensate for wrap-around paths in the subsequent web image. The length 1 of the first printing area 4 is generated electronically. This creates electronic image distortion.

[0078] For example, with common paper carrier materials and image formats, e.g. in a DIN A4 or DIN A3 format, a width bl of the second printing area 5 in the second coordinate direction Q is, for example, between 0.1 and 1.5 millimeters greater than the width of the original image motif or the underlying image motif. The value of the difference in width compared to the original image motif depends, for example, on the overall width of the image motif and / or the paper thickness and / or the bending strength of the paper. This means that differences in wrap paths, for example, are or can be compensated for.

[0079] A visible side of the finished woven weave 6 shown in Fig. 3 is visible to a person as a representation of the image motif 3 or as an almost identical representation of the underlying image motif 3.

[0080] With the first printing area 4, all longitudinal stripes 7 running parallel in the first coordinate direction L are created for the web image 6. With the second printing area 5, all transverse stripes 8 running parallel in the second coordinate direction Q are created for the web image 6.

[0081] For printing the first printing area 4 and the second printing area 5, the image motif 3 is divided into a plurality of square image sections 9, which are reproduced printed on the longitudinal strips 7 and on the transverse strips 8.

[0082] By way of example, in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, three selected image sections 9 are each provided with a reference symbol. The first printing area 4 serves to provide all longitudinal strips 7 whose longitudinal axis runs in the first coordinate direction L, wherein in the first coordinate direction L between two adjacent image sections 9 on the longitudinal strip 7 an identical distance a is always taken into account on the longitudinal strip 7, wherein the distance a depends on the material thickness of the carrier material 2.

[0083] The printing areas 4, 5 are created such that the entire image motif 3 in the finished web image 6 is divided into a plurality of rectangular image sections 9. The image sections 9 have two parallel outer sides that are parallel to the first coordinate direction L. The image sections 9 have two further parallel outer sides that are parallel to the second coordinate direction.

[0084] Mutually facing longitudinal edges of two adjacent longitudinal strips 7 are formed adjacent to each other in the first printing area 4 .

[0085] Between two adjacent transverse strips 8, between one of the facing longitudinal edges of the two adjacent transverse strips 8, an intermediate strip 12 formed by the carrier material of the second printing area is formed over the slopes of the two transverse strips 8.

[0086] For example, an area on a vertical or horizontal stripe that is not displayed on the visible side of the web image is only partially printed. For example, a central portion of this area is not printed—or, for example, is printed in a single color, such as white.

[0087] For example, the longitudinal strips are separated from each other with respect to adjacent parallel longitudinal edges, for example by a cut through the carrier material.

[0088] Outside the area of ​​the longitudinal stripe and / or outside the area of ​​the transverse stripe, information is printed on, for example. For example, there are strip-like extensions 10 on the first printing area 4 and strip-like extensions 11 on the second printing area 5, with the transverse stripes 8 being numbered consecutively with numerals "1" to "17".
