  • Patent number: 5355798
    Abstract: An intermittent motion rotary printing press in which the inking cylinder and pressure cylinder are mounted in spaced apart relation on a single common bracket assembly which pivots between an inking step position and a print step position. The range of bracket assembly pivot motion is adjustable to define a first stop point at which the inking cylinder transfers ink to a printing plate and a second stop point at which the pressure cylinder confines a web in printing contact with the printing plate. One or more pneumatic cylinders operate to shift the bracket assembly between first and second stop points and hold the assembly at the selected stop point for inking or printing operations respectively.
