    摘要: A method operates a flexographic printing press. The press contains a printing cylinder carrying a sleeve with at least one flexographic printing forme or a flexographic printing cylinder and an impression cylinder forming a printing nip with the printing cylinder to print on a web of printing substrate. The method includes automatically adjusting the transport speed of the web of printing substrate as a function of a dot density of the flexographic printing forme, i.e. of a location-dependent density of printing elevations on the flexographic printing forme, or of data computationally derived therefrom, or as a function of gaps of the flexographic printing forme or printing cylinder or data computationally derived therefrom. The printing press advantageously provides a cost-efficient way of producing high-quality prints in an industrial flexographic printing process while avoiding undesired vibration. In addition, the method of the invention advantageously provides further automation of the printing process.

    摘要: A method for operating a device that applies a force to a print sheet during a folding operation, wherein the print sheet is in a specified starting position prior to the folding operation. Braking-force triggering pulses are directed toward the print sheet to counter the acceleration of the print sheet in the starting phase of the folding operation and/or to counter fluttering movements that occur during the intake of the print sheet. The pulses exert an intermittent, uniform or oscillating force onto at least a section of the print sheet. The pulses are controlled by a control unit which operates based on control profiles resulting from queried operating parameters and/or based on stored control profiles.

    摘要: A printing unit has a printing form cylinder, an impression cylinder opposite the printing form cylinder and at least one substrate carrier apparatus with which a printing substrate is moved through between the printing form cylinder and the impression cylinder, wherein the substrate is printed in a printing region between the two cylinders. The substrate carrier apparatus is moved linearly during a uniform rotation of the two cylinders along a linearly extending track, limited in length by a longitudinal extension of the printing unit. The substrate carrier apparatus is accelerated from a resting start position to an operating speed, to be reached upon reaching the printing region, the substrate carrier apparatus is moved at least in the printing region at constant speed, and the substrate carrier apparatus is decelerated after leaving the printing region to a resting end position on the track.
