Printing press and method for producing printed products

A printing press comprising:

• at least a first printing unit that comprises one or more printing couples, by the use of which at least first printing unit sheet-format substrate can be printed on at least one side in at least one printing nip;
• at least one product receiving unit located after, in a direction of a substrate travel path, the at least first printing unit and in which the printed sheet-format substrate can be collected to form one of bundles of products and intermediate products;
• a rotatable cooling cylinder for one of guiding and conveying the sheet-format substrate, the rotatable cooling cylinder being located upstream of the at least one product receiving unit and downstream of the at least one printing unit comprising the one or more printing couples in the direction of the substrate travel path, the rotatable cooling cylinder having an outer circumferential surface defining a section of the substrate travel path;
• at least a first electrode spaced apart from and directed toward the section of the substrate travel path that runs over the outer circumferential section of the rotatable cooling cylinder, whereby, when an electric voltage is applied to the substrate path, by the at least first electrode, the substrate being guided along the substrate path past the at least first electrode one of is and can be electrostatically charged;
• and
• an assistant substrate positioning device that physically positions the substrate against the circumferential surface of the rotatable cooling cylinder, the assistant substrate positioning device being different from the at least first electrode and being positioned upstream of the at least first electrode in the substrate travel path at a maximum angle of 25° with respect to the at least first electrode, as viewed in a circumferential direction of the rotatable cooling cylinder.
