| (57) A plant for producing water transferable labels realised on a hygroscopic paper support,
which are used in particular for identifying ceramic products, such as sanitary equipment
and the like, through an image, such as a bar code, which is printed on the surface
of the same product through the known sweating process undergone by the ceramic material
at high temperatures. In particular, such plant is characterised in that it is fed
with a hygroscopic paper tape wound on a reel and carrying the images to be transferred
printed in series. Moreover, in the proximity of each image to be transferred there
is provided an opaque mark, which is read by the photoelectric cells arranged along
the entire plant for synchronising the operation of the same. |
