Abstract
The gap formed between the end sections of a gravure printing plate anchored in a groove in a forme cylinder is covered with a plate, and the resulting gap cavity is filled with plastic, curable material. When the filling has been cured, the plate is removed. In order to position the plate exactly on the gap, the plate is held, in such a way that it can be rotated and lowered, by means of a pair of guide rails mounted on the forme cylinder axle; the said pair of rails can be connected to a means for centering on the gap, this means likewise being rotatable about the said axle.
