Abstract: In a printing press and attached onto the transfer cylinders, an anti-marking system that uniformly supports the transport and the release of the wet printed sheet from one station to the next. The anti-marking sheet consists of a two plus layer system, the outer layer being a textured surface and the inner layer being a microcellular material that is both compressible and resilient. The outer textured layer may be treated with either conductive/anti-static layers or an ink repellent layer or both. The two plus layer system is easily attached to both transfer cylinders and tracking/skeleton wheels using any combination of fixtures from Velcro™, magnetic, metallic, and pressure sensitive double sided tape to elastic loops.

Abstract: A flexible anti-marking system for use on a printing press transfer cylinder is resilient to compressive forces. The system includes an outer flexible substrate layer having a textured surface protruding from a first side for supporting the freshly printed sheet material. The system further includes an inner flexible material that is resilient to compressive forces having an outer surface disposed in contact with the back side of the outer flexible substrate layer and an inner surface for contacting the transfer cylinder. A stiffening strip is mechanically fastened to a longitudinal edge portion, whereby the anti-marking system includes a stiffened longitudinal edge for fixturing to the transfer cylinder, the stiffened longitudinal edge comprising the stiffening strip and the longitudinal edge portion of the outer flexible substrate.
