  • Patent number: 8696108
    Abstract: In a printing press, it is configured such that a newspaper web offset printing press is composed by a feeder device, a printing device, a guiding device, a turn bar device, and a folding unit; as a guiding device, there are provided an upstream side guide roller and a downstream side guide roller which are disposed with a predetermined interval along a transportation direction of a web for guiding transportation of the web; and there is disposed an ink-jet printer for performing digital printing on the web guided between the guide rollers. By setting diameters of the upstream side guide roller and the downstream side guide roller to different values, vibration of the print medium which is transported while being guided by the guide rollers is suppressed, and the print quality is thereby improved.
