A plurality of printing blocks are placed on a plate cylinder of a printing machine. Each of these printing blocks is located at one of a plurality of mounting locations which are located adjacent each other in an axial direction of the plate cylinder. Each of these printing blocks is stored in a storage device which includes storage positions that are located adjacent to, and offset from each other at a fixed distance in the axial direction of the plate cylinder, prior to the arrangement of the printing blocks at one of the mounting locations of the plate cylinder. The plate cylinder and/or the storage device are displaced axially relative to each other by the operation of a positioning device. That displacement arranges a printing block to be arranged on the plate cylinder at a mounting location which is situated adjacent the mounting location of another printing block, which is already located there or what is still to be located there, at a distance which is reduced relative to a distance between two adjacent storage positions of the storage device.
