A takeoff assist to facilitate removal of printed stock positioned on the bed of a printing press, having drop edge means pivotally mounted on the printing bed of the press and forming an edge portion of the stock-supporting surface of the printing bed to support a leading edge of the stock and movable relative to the bed and stock to permit the leading edge of the stock to be securely grasped. A takeoff assist assembly having drop edge means, linkage means operatively connected to the drop edge means and movable relative to the printing bed, and cam assembly means mounted on a takeoff conveyor positioned adjacent the printing press and movable in timed relationship to the movement of a stock gripping portion of the takeoff conveyor to move the linkage means and thereby pivot the drop edge means relative to the printing bed to expose the leading edge of the stock for easy and secure gripping by the gripping portion of the takeoff conveyor for removal from the printing bed.
