A feed unit (17) feeds a master sheet (14) from an etching unit (28) to a master drum (13), the distance from the etching unit (28) to the feed unit (17) being smaller than the length of the master sheet (14). The feed unit (17) includes a support member (48); (73) disposed above the etching unit (28) and a retractable stopper (41). A lifting member (48); (72) lifts the trailing edge portion of the master sheet (14) onto the support member (48); (73) after the leading edge portion of the master sheet (14) is abuttingly stopped by the stopper (41). The support member (48); (73) and lifting member (48); (72) may be integral and constituted by a conveyor belt (48). Alternatively, the support member (48); (73) may be constituted by a support plate (73) and the lifting member (48); (72) constituted by a rocker frame (72). |
