Abstract

Cardboard box forming and printing machine on which it is possible to effect a change of block on the printers without loss of time detrimental to the output of the machine. The printing modules of the machine are equipped to enable lateral translation either of the block-holder cylinder alone, or of the unit constituted by the block-holder cylinder and its inking device, as well as retractable means for propelling the cardboard which can be positioned when the block-holder cylinder is retracted laterally so as to continue to ensure the operation of advancing the cardboard provided by the latter before its lateral retraction.
