摘要

An apparatus (10) for mounting flexible printing plates (P) on a printing cylinder (30) includes a base (12) rotatably supporting a printing cylinder (30) in a predetermined position and support having a turntable (92) for supporting a flexible printing plate (P) having a reference point thereon and a front plate support (180) mounted adjacent the front of the turntable (92). Means (156) for selectively moving front plate support (180) and an associated pressure roll (160) toward and away from the turntable (92) to facilitate the application of the flexible printing plate (P) onto the printing cylinder (30) in a predetermined position.
