<p>There is described a method of mounting and adjusting a printing plate (P) on a plate cylinder (15, 25) of a multicolour offset printing press. According to the invention, the printing plate (P) is clamped at leading and trailing ends (LP, TP) between front and rear clamping bars (FC, RC) of the plate cylinder (15, 25), the rear clamping bar (RC) being movable under the application of a tensioning force and occupying, upon clamping of the trailing end (TP) of the printing plate (P), a tension-release position. Tensioning of the printing plate (P) is carried out by initially applying a nominal tensioning force (Fo) to the rear clamping bar (RC), thereby causing the rear clamping bar (RC) to move from the tension- release position to a nominal tensioning position, which is set as reference position of the rear clamping bar (RC). A print register of the tensioned printing plate (P*) is then measured and compared to a target print register with a view to determine a corrected tensioning position of the rear clamping bar (RC) corresponding to the target print register. The tension of the printing plate (P) is thereafter released. The previously-determined corrected tensioning position is set as new reference position of the rear clamping bar (RC) before (or after) tensioning again the printing plate (P). If necessary, the measuring and correcting steps are repeated until the measured print register matches the target print register.</p> |
