Abstract:

A system and method for printing a predetermined pattern on sheet metal wound in a roll is claimed. The sheet metal is placed in a processing line, wherein the roll of sheet metal is unwound from a first roll, processed and rewound into a second roll. During processing, the sheet metal is cleaned and painted. The painted sheet metal is then advanced under at least one computer controlled printing head that prints a predetermined pattern of ink onto the sheet metal. The printed pattern of ink is then coated with a protective coating.
