  • the diameter D wGZ ; D wPZ at least of the forme cylinder 01; 16 is z. B. 150 to 190 mm, in particular 145 to 185 mm, which corresponds in scope substantially a length of a newspaper page ("single circumference").
  • the device is advantageous in which the ratio between the diameter and length of the cylinder 01, 02; 14; 16; 18 is less than or equal to 0.16, in particular less than 0.12, or even less than or equal to 0.08.
  • the diameter of at least the forme cylinder 01; 16 is z. B. at 260 to 400 mm, in particular at 260 to 340 mm, which corresponds in scope substantially two lengths of a newspaper page ("double circumference").
