A flexible, beveled end plate fastening device comprising:
- a cylinder of a rotary printing press;
- a plurality of axially spaced pockets formed on a surface portion of said cylinder said pockets, extending into an interior of said cylinder, each of said pockets having an axial pocket length and a circumferential width, each of said pockets being separated from adjacent pockets by said surface portion of said cylinder at an axial pocket spacing distance;
- a flexible plate body;
- and
- a plurality of axially spaced fastening tabs formed at first and second longitudinal ends of said flexible plate body, each of said fastening tabs being formed at an angle with respect to said plate body and being receivable in a cooperating one of said pockets to fasten said flexible plate on said cylinder, each of said tabs being separated from adjacent tabs by a tab spacing distance, said tab spacing distance being the same as said axial pocket spacing distance.
