The invention relates to a process for replacing printing sleeves ( 7 ) of a printing machine ( 1 ), in which printing sleeves ( 7 ) that are not required for the actual printing process are mounted in at least one storage device and the transportation of the printing sleeves ( 7 ) necessary for the replacement between the storage device and the printing machine ( 1 ) is performed by at least one transportation device ( 13 ), that comprises printing sleeve retaining devices ( 14 ) that can bring the printing sleeves ( 7 ) into a position that is suited for the replacement of the printing sleeves ( 7 ). The present invention is characterized in that the arrangement of the printing sleeves ( 7 ) in the transportation device ( 13 ) is determined by a processing and control unit ( 19 ), to which the set positions of the printing sleeves in the printing machine during the next printing job are known. The processing and control unit ( 19 ) adjusts the arrangement of the printing sleeves ( 7 ) in such a manner that at least one printing sleeve retaining device ( 14 ) remains free in the transportation device ( 13 ).
