Abstract: The invention relates to a printing machine by intaglio engraving comprising a rack with a stationary part and a moving part. A plate cylinder is rotationally mounted inside the stationary part, and an Orlof-type cylinder is mounted inside the moving part. The moving part is mounted on a rail in a suspended manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a printing machine by intaglio engraving comprising a rack (01; 11; 14) with a stationary part (01) and a moving part (11; 14). A plate cylinder (07) is rotationally mounted inside the stationary part, and an Orlof-type cylinder (12) is mounted inside the moving part. The moving part is mounted on a rail (04) in a suspended manner.

Abstract: A method by which stacks of printed sheets can be formed and, at the same time, the risk of soiling of the stacked sheets can be reduced to the maximum extent. To this end a printing machine is proposed, in particular a sheet-fed printing machine, into which unprinted and intermediate sheets are alternatively feed, wherein the printing is registered such that the printing occurs only on the unprinted sheets and not on the intermediate sheets. In this way, the intermediate sheets prevent damage to the print on the printed sheets.

Abstract: The printing press has at least one feed (31) for unprinted sheets (32), a plate cylinder (35) with at least one printing plate, a printing cylinder (36), a wiping device (49) and an inking system (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45) for inking the necessary areas of a plate or plates carried by the plate cylinder (35). For a printing cylinder (36) that can carry N sheets on its periphery, N being a multiple of 2, the plate cylinder (35) comprises N/2 plates, so that half of the sheets (32) carried by the printing cylinder (36) are printed by each of the plates during a full rotation of the cylinders (35, 36).

Abstract: The invention relates to a suction roll for the transport of aligned sheets. Said roll may be intermittently driven for the transport of a sheet, until said sheet is taken by a subsequent transport system.
