Device and process for register adjustment on a printing press with a plurality of printing units

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a printing press in particular, offset printing press, with a plurality of printing units, said printing units, with the exception of one being provided with circumferential- and side-registeradjusting devices for register adjustment. In order to obtain a simple and low-cost construction it is, proposed that, for the effect of a register adjustment of the non-adjustable printing unit (5) said printing, unit (5) is assigned a control-command input device (16) such that a relative change in position of the subject (20) of the non-adjustable printing unit (5) is accomplished by logically consistent register adjustments of the adjustable printing units (2 3, 4).
