  • Patent number: 8127678
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are used for providing information about printing plates to be manufactured for a new production of a printing press. A use of at least one of the printing plates, at its point of use in the printing press, is visualized on a display of a display apparatus. Several different positions exist at the point of use of each respective printing plate. Each of those different positions may relate to one of several installation positions on a plate cylinder comprising the several installation positions and disposed in the printing press. These can also relate to one of several storage positions of a printing plate magazine of the printing press comprising several storage positions. By use of the display, several different points of use in the printing area, for a particular printing plate, are displayed simultaneously. The display depicts which one of the positions of use, of the several possible provided parts of use, is to be provided.

  • Patent number: 7980174
    Abstract: A page of a printed product having a plurality of information fields arranged in different printed columns is provided. At least one perforated line, extending parallel to the height of the page, is generated in the page between at least two printed columns. The at least one perforated line is formed over the entire height of the page. At least one printed column, along with its at least one information field, can be completely separated from the remaining part of the page via a separation process to be performed along a single such perforated line. The perforated line to be used to execute the separation process extends through a pictogram that is situated along both sides of this perforated line. The pictogram visualizes the position of this perforated line. A longitudinal perforation device for a web-fed rotary printing press can be used to produce this page and has at least one perforating blade for generating the perforated line. The longitudinal perforation device is configured as an autonomous module.
