Abstract: The invention relates to a printing form (19) to be used in a printing unit of a printing press. Said printing form (19) is embodied as a panoramic printing form (19) and supports side by side printed images of a specific number n (n>1) of printed pages having a specific format (F1, F2). The printing form (19) has a width that substantially corresponds to a number of n=3 vertical printed pages in newspaper format (F1, F2) and supports side by side printed images of n=3 pages in newspaper format (F1, F2).

Abstract: A quantity of ink is dosed in an inking system of a printing machine, which inking system is provided with at least one dosing device that can be used to modify the quantity of ink which is transferred by the inking system. The dosing device can be adjusted by the use of an adjusting element to modify the quantity of ink that is to be transferred. A modification of the quantity of ink is defined by an adjustment of the adjusting element. The dosing device is adjusted in accordance with a pre-determined correlation between the amount of the adjustment of the adjusting device and the current state of the dosing device. The adjustment of the dosing device is carried out in accordance with the correlation in such a way that a relation between the modification of the quantity of ink caused by the adjustment of the dosing device, and the ink quantity transferred by the dosing device remains essentially constant.

Abstract: A pump inking unit of a printing machine is usable to dose a predetermined amount of ink onto axially adjacent areas of a peripheral surface of a roller, by the provision of a discharge opening, with the aid of several dosing pumps. These several dosing pumps are arranged adjacent each other in an axial direction of the roller. Each one of these dosing pumps has its own motor. The adjacently arranged dosing pumps are arranged along an application strip that is provided with the discharge openings. Each of these dosing pumps is a rotating displacement pump with an externally toothed, internal rotor and with an internally toothed external motor. The axes of rotation of these two rotors are eccentric to each other. The teeth of the external and internal rotors are at any time in engagement with each other to form a system of several sealed transport chambers between the external rotor and the internal rotor, during rotation of these rotors about their individual axes of rotation.

Abstract: An offset printing group is part of a printing machine which is used for printing newspapers. The offset printing group includes a printing cylinder and a transfer cylinder. The length of the transfer cylinder corresponds to at least six widths of newspaper pages. Two blankets are arranged adjacent each other on the peripheral surface of the transfer cylinder. A width of each of these blankets in the axial direction of the transfer cylinder corresponds to three widths of newspaper pages.

Abstract: A printing unit is comprised of at least two pairs of two cylinders each. The two cylinders in each pair are a transfer cylinder and a forme cylinder. The transfer cylinder and the forme cylinder are each embodied with a width sufficient for printing six newspaper pages arranged axially next to each other. The transfer cylinder of each pair cooperates with a counter-pressure cylinder, that is embodied as a satellite cylinder to form a printing head in a so-called print-in-place arrangement.

Abstract: A rotary roller printing press has a printing unit for printing a web in six printed pages arranged axially next to each other. A superstructure is used to cut the web longitudinally into three partial webs. A folding installation is used to fold the partial webs and includes at least one roller for transporting the partial webs, and at least one folding apparatus. The printing unit, the at least one roller for transporting the partial webs of the folding installation, and the folding apparatus, which is arranged after in the direction of web travel, the other devices, are each separately mechanically driven by a separate drive motor.

Abstract: A printing group of a rotary printing press includes a counter-pressure cylinder that forms a printing location in a printing contact position in cooperation with a second cylinder. The second cylinder has a compressible surface. The two cylinders each are provided with bearer rings. A radius of the counter-pressure cylinder is greater, in a band area thereof, than is a radius of the bearer ring which is associated with this counter-pressure cylinder.

Abstract: In connection with a method for characterization of a layer, a method and a device for determining a characteristic number, as well as a method for selecting a suitable dressing on rollers, or suitable geomtries of rollers of a printing press, a characterizing number for characterizing a layer is formed, or employed, which characterizes the roll-off behavior independently of a measuring device or an application in a particular printing group.

Abstract: A printing group includes at least one printing group cylinder and one inking system with at least one roller. The printing group cylinder and the inking system are driven for rotation by different drive motors via respective mechanically independent transmissions. Every rotational transmission is configured as a transmission that is closed off from the exterior of the printing group.
