Abstract: A device for guiding a travelling web comprises a first movable angle bar and a second movable angle bar located in respective positions in a first operative mode to guide the travelling web from an entering direction to an exiting direction and to define a first print-to-cut registration setting. In a second operative mode the exiting direction of the travelling web is changed and the print-to-cut register is maintained, whereas in a third operative mode the print-to-cut register is changed and the exiting direction is maintained.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a first force applied to a movable element in a first position of the movable element by a force applying device, the force applying device applying a second force to the movable element in a second position of the movable element. The method includes connecting the movable element and a base element with a scissors-type linkage; mounting the force applying device to the scissors-type linkage at a first mounting point; mounting the force applying device to the base element at a second mounting point; and moving at least one of the first and the second mounting points along a constant force curve, so that the second force remains constant as the first force is adjusted. A device for adjusting a first force applied to a movable element in a first position is also provided.

Abstract: A printing press comprises a cylinder having an outer surface and a plurality of air holes for providing air to the outer surface. A sound-damping material is located on a section of the outer surface and an axially-removable printing sleeve fits over the outer surface. Also disclosed is a method for reducing noise from a printing press comprising the steps of providing air through air holes in a cylinder having a free end to aid in placement or removal of an axially-removable printing sleeve, and providing a sound-damping surface to an outer surface of the cylinder at the free end.
