A gravure printing press utilizes a printing assembly with a printing forme cylinder that is twice as large in relation to the number of multiple copies which can be printed during one revolution. The printing forme cylinder, in a thrown-on position, forms a printing point with an impression cylinder which is twice as large in relation to the number of multiple copies which can be printed during one revolution. A wiping cylinder, in a thrown-on position, also interacts with the printing forme cylinder. An ink collecting cylinder, in its thrown-on position, interacts with the printing forme cylinder. A plurality of stencil cylinders, in thrown-on positions, interact, one after another, with the ink collecting cylinder on the circumference thereof. Each of the stencil cylinders can be inked by at least one inking unit. The ink collecting cylinder is configured with a circumference which is larger than the printing forme cylinder by an integral multiple.
