The press comprises an impression cylinder assembly 7 in juxtaposed relation to a plate cylinder assembly 8 having a plate cylinder 30 around which a belt 31 with attached printing plates is at least partially reeved for printing on the continuous web 6 as it passes between the nip of the plate cylinder 30 and the impression cylinder 9 of the impression cylinder assembly. An engraved, ink transfer roller 45 and fountain roller 46 are disposed adjacent the plate cylinder, and are specially mounted for movement relative to each other and for movement in unison relative to the plate cylinder 30. Stops are provided to limit these movements. Any suitable doctor blade SB can be used in connection with the transfer roller 45, if desired. |
