  • the EP 0 510 744 A1 discloses a pressure roller having a plurality of registration pins which selectively cooperate with a recess of a printing sleeve.
  • the EP 0 483 685 A1 describes printing plates with multiple register openings in order to position them differently depending on a width of the printing plates.
  • the DE 16 11 383 A1 shows a form cylinder with four adjacent printing plates, each printing plate having a plurality of register openings.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a web-fed rotary printing press and a method for producing printing plates for a web-fed rotary printing press.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that a machine that is easy to manufacture or operate and / or spatially comparatively compact and / or that enables a high print quality is created.
  • the possibility is created in a simple manner to allow the printing of different paper web widths.
  • An otherwise not shown flexographic printing machine comprises several, for example, two juxtaposed printing towers 01, each of which several, especially two superimposed printing unit 03, in particular satellite printing units 03, through which printed material webs 02, in particular paper webs 02 for two-sided, multicolor printing are.
  • the printing towers 01 can be arranged on a machine platform, not shown, and underneath the pedestal can be arranged roll changers, not shown, which feed the printing towers 01 with the paper webs 02.
  • the printing towers 01 are traversed by the paper webs 02 in the transport direction from bottom to top.
  • Printed, led out of the towers 01 paper webs 02 can be combined in a superstructure of the printing machine, not shown, and one or more processing stations such as a cutting station and one or more post-processing stations such as a folding unit supplied.

  • Each printing unit 04 is formed for the high pressure, especially for flexographic printing.
  • the general structure and operation of flexographic printing units 04 is generally state of the art, so that it need not be discussed in detail. In the highly schematic representation according to Fig.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 2 differs from the embodiment according to Fig. 1 essentially only by the respectively slightly different arrangement of the printing units 04 on the satellite cylinder 05.

  • each of the printing plates bears as a printed image exactly one newspaper page standing or two lying newspaper pages.
  • the diameter of the satellite cylinder 05 is preferably an integer multiple, in particular a triple of the diameter of the associated forme cylinder 06; However, it may also be advantageous to dimension the satellite cylinder 05 so that its diameter is in particular a 2.5 times the diameter of the associated forme cylinder 06. According to a further aspect, it is advantageous to dimension the circumference of the satellite cylinder 05 so that it corresponds to an integer multiple of the section length of a printed product manufactured with the flexographic printing press.
  • the forme cylinder 06, the anilox roller 07 and the chamber doctor blade 08 of each printing unit 04 are each guided in such a way that they can be adjusted to the satellite cylinder 05 and offset from it.
