Abstract

A triplex printing system has three electrographic printer devices which enables both-sided, exactly registered printing of a paper web. For this purpose, the front side is printed in a first printer, the backside is printed in a second printer and the backside is printed again superimposed in a third printer. As a result of the arrangement of two printer chains having six printers, the structuring of a variable printing system adjustable dependent on function having a plurality of printer lanes is possible.
