Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a web printing system (1) configured for forming a blouse in a stiff or rigid medium. The printing system comprises a blouse forming region (B) positioned below a transport path (P). A pressing device (40) is provided moveable along a guide (44) between a first position (40A)above the transport path (P), and a second position (40B) below the transport path (P) in an upper zone of the blouse forming region. A locking device (42) is provided for holding the pressing device (40) at the second position (40B). The movement of the pressing device from the first position to the second position presses the web medium from the transport path into an initial curve (IC) in the upper zone (30A) in the buffer region. The initial curve is then expanded away from the pressing device in the second position downwards into the buffer region for forming a blouse in a lower zone (30B)of the buffer region.
