Abstract: A method and a device for automatically transmitting data from a pre-press stage (9) to a printing substrate processing machine (8) having at least one print unit (10) and one print form (11) for printing on a printing substrate (1). The method and the device are distinguished in that the data of the pre-press stage (9) to be transmitted to the printing substrate processing machine (8) are applied in an encoded form to the print form (11), and these data are able to be read out by the printing substrate processing machine (8). Also provided is a method and a device for automatically transmitting data from a first printing substrate processing machine (8) having at least one print unit (10) and one print form (11) for printing on a printing substrate (1), to a further printing substrate processing machine, in particular a folding machine.

Abstract: A quick-action clamping device for fastening a printing plate on a plate cylinder in a printing machine by a fixed clamping bar and a displaceable clamping bar which are able to be brought into a clamping position and a plate-changing position, respectively, includes a spring device for resiliently pressing the displaceable clamping bar into the clamping position with a holding force for clamping a printing plate between the displaceable clamping bar and the fixed clamping bar, and at least one re-set element for returning the displaceable clamping bar to the plate-changing position against the holding force.

Abstract: A clamping and tensioning device for clamping a printing plate on a cylinder of a printing machine includes a tensioning bar and a clamping bar having substantially radially extending, mutually opposing clamping surfaces for gripping therebetween a bent end of a printing plate, the tensioning bar being formed as a pivotal double lever, tension spring devices engageable with the tensioning bar for applying a tensioning force thereto in a tensioning direction, adjusting devices engageable with the tensioning bar and actuatable for pivoting the tensioning bar against the tensioning force applied by the tension spring devices, the clamping bar being formed as a pivotal double lever connected to the tensioning bar, clamping spring devices engaging with the clamping bar for pressing the clamping surface of the clamping bar against the corresponding clamping surface of the tensioning bar with a clamping force for holding a printing plate therebetween, the clamping bar being further formed with a holding element, a f
