Abstract: A printing press including a printing section delivering printed sheets onto a conveying section at a receiving station, the conveying section incorporating a horizontally movable conveyor provided with grippers for grasping printed sheets discharged from the receiving station and moving them away. A rotary shaft is disposed transversely of and above the conveyor, onto which is provided a tear-line tracer assembly which projects radially and lengthwise of the shaft. This assembly includes a tracer blade having an elongated serrated straight cutting edge extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the shaft and being adapted to produce tear-lines when applied over and across the printed sheets when the latter are moved by the conveyor. A rotary support roll is provided beneath the conveyor and over the top of which printed sheets bear as they are moved by the conveyor.
