Estimating the term…
A method and an apparatus are used for providing information about printing plates to be manufactured for a new production of a printing press. A use of at least one of the printing plates, at its point of use in the printing press, is visualized on a display of a display apparatus. Several different positions exist at the point of use of each respective printing plate. Each of those different positions may relate to one of several installation positions on a plate cylinder comprising the several installation positions and disposed in the printing press. These can also relate to one of several storage positions of a printing plate magazine of the printing press comprising several storage positions. By use of the display, several different points of use in the printing area, for a particular printing plate, are displayed simultaneously. The display depicts which one of the positions of use, of the several possible provided parts of use, is to be provided. The display additionally depicts different states or properties of at least one printing plate that has been manufactured or that is to be manufactured. It may also depict a print location of a printing plate on a transport path to the printing press.
A method for providing information about printing formes to be manufactured for a new production run of a printing press, in which a use of at least one of said printing formes (01) at its location of use in the printing press is visualized in a display of a display device (52), wherein a plurality of different positions exist at the location of use of the relevant printing forme (01), wherein each of said positions relates to one of multiple mounting positions on a forme cylinder (06) having the multiple mounting positions and arranged in the printing press, or to one of multiple storage positions in one of multiple chutes having the relevant storage position, said chutes being disposed in a printing forme magazine (09) assigned to one of the forme cylinders (06) in the printing press, wherein the display of the display device (52) displays simultaneously a plurality of different locations of use in the printing press, wherein the display displays at which of the positions of a specific location of use having multiple positions a printing forme (01) is to be provided, wherein the display also displays different states and/or properties relating to at least one manufactured printing forme (01), characterized in that the display displays simultaneously multiple different production runs to be executed sequentially in the same printing press, with a plurality of locations of use, assigned to said production runs, for the printing formes (01) that are required for the respective production runs.
A device for providing information about printing formes to be manufactured for a new production run of a printing press, comprising a display device (52), wherein a display of the display device (52) visualizes a use of at least one of said printing formes (01) at its location of use in the printing press, wherein at the location of use of the relevant printing forme (01) a plurality of different positions are provided, wherein each of said positions is embodied as one of multiple mounting positions on a forme cylinder (06) having the multiple mounting positions and arranged in the printing press, or as one of multiple storage positions in one of multiple chutes having the relevant storage position, said chutes being disposed in a printing forme magazine (09) assigned to one of the forme cylinders (06) in the printing press, wherein the display of the display device (52) displays simultaneously a plurality of different locations of use in the printing press, wherein the display indicates at which of the positions of a specific location of use having multiple positions a printing forme (01) is to be provided, wherein the display also displays different states and/or properties relating to at least one manufactured printing forme (01), characterized in that the display of the display device (52) displays simultaneously a plurality of different production runs to be executed sequentially in the same printing press, with a plurality of locations of use, assigned to said production runs, for the printing formes (01) that are required for the respective production runs.
