Abstract

A printing press has at least two units in the form of modules, at least one of which is in the form of a non-impact coating module and has at least one print head. The at least two modules each have at least one dedicated drive which is used to effect transport of a substrate through the module or through an effective region of the module. Along an intended transport path, there is at least one first application point, provided for the application of a color coating agent, an effective region of at least one drying device assigned to the first application point and at least one further application point provided for color coating agent application, and further oriented towards the same side, of at least one non-impact coating module, and an effective region of at least one further drying device assigned to the further application point. At least one print head is preferably one of connected and connectable to at least one positioning device. The at least one positioning device preferably has at least one positioning drive.
