A DIGITAL MULTI-COLOR PRINTING MACHINE

摘要

A printing unit for a digital multi-color printing machine, in particular for an electrophotographically operating, preferably sheet-printing printing machine, said printing unit comprising at least one transfer element (11), preferably an imaging cylinder (31) and/or a cylinder bearing a rubber blanket, for the transfer of a printing image. The invention provides a multi-color printing machine which also allows the production of high-quality prints with fewer colors, i.e., in a more cost-effective manner than if a multi-color print were produced with the same printing machine. In accordance with the invention, this object is achieved by a printing unit for a digital multi-color printing machine, which is characterized in that the transfer element (11) is moved from a transfer position into an inoperative position.
