Abstract
A printing machine includes several sections, each of which has at least one printing unit with at least one web running through the at least one printing unit per section. Two such sections are arranged offset to each other, transverse to the longitudinal direction of the printing machine. Production of a printed product is achieved, at least in part, by using a common folding unit that extends over the total width of the printing machine.
Claims40
A printing press comprising:
- at least first and second press sections having a total section width;
- at least a first printing unit in each of said at least first and second press sections, said at least first printing unit including printing unit cylinders adapted to print on at least one web passing through said at least first printing unit;
- a common folding structure assigned to said at least first and second press sections and adapted to at least partially receive printed webs from both of said at least first and second press sections;
- a printing press longitudinal direction, said at least first and second press sections at least partially directing printed webs to said common folding structure being offset to each other transversely to said printing press longitudinal direction;
- and
- a common folding structure width corresponding to said total section width of said at least first and second press sections arranged offset to each other transversely to said longitudinal direction.
