For fitting an offset printing plate (P) on a plate cylinder (Pp), both ends of the plate (P) are provided with a bent part (2, 3) designed for being hooked on a wall (11, 12) of a groove (10) of the cylinder (Pp). The distance along the plate (P) extending between the two bending lines (20, 30) of the bent parts (2, 3) is less than the distance which, in the wrap-around direction of the plate (P) on the cylinder (Pp), separates the two walls (11, 12) of the groove (10). In order to enable the fitting of the plate (P) on the cylinder (Pp), the plate (P) is subjected to thermal lenghtening (4, 40) when being mounted. |
