Abstract: A printing unit including: a frame; a first print station (6) having a first blanket cylinder (10) and a first plate cylinder (12); an impression cylinder (14); and a first spacer device (100) designed to move the cylinders relative to each other between a printing configuration in which the plate cylinder (12) is in contact with the associated blanket cylinder (10) and a non-printing configuration in which the plate cylinder (12) is moved away from the blanket cylinder (10) and the blanket cylinder (10) is moved away from the impression cylinder (14). The printing unit also includes a second spacer device (200) designed to regulate the distance between the cylindrical surfaces of the first blanket cylinder (10) and the impression cylinder (14), said second spacer device (200) including means for moving the impression cylinder (14) radially relative to the first blanket cylinder (10) and relative to the frame.

Abstract: This printing plate (6) for a rotary press includes a head (22) for fastening to an impression cylinder, and a tail (24) for fastening to the impression cylinder. The fastening head (22) includes a holding projection (28) suitable for mating with an element (34) for holding the impression cylinder.

Abstract: A cylinder covering (10) is described, having a lateral edge reinforcement (12), which is received partially overlapping on the cylinder covering (10), the cylinder covering (10) having an upper side (14) as the printing side, which is distinguished in that the lateral edge reinforcement (12), on the part (16) not overlapping with the cylinder covering (10), has at least one projection (18) having a projection terminus (20) on a lateral surface, which faces toward the upper side (14) of the cylinder covering, of the lateral edge reinforcement (12), the perpendicular from the projection terminus (20) on the plane of the overlapping part of the cylinder covering (10) running at least partially outside or precisely on the contour of the lateral edge reinforcement (12).
