Abstract

In a machine for successively processing cardboard sheets running through a printing machine having more than one printing station, the active parts of each of the printing stations being mounted on a vertical slide in the machine frame with an arrangement for lifting the parts from a working position to either a standby or a preparatory position with the printing cylinder of each station being out of engagement with the sheet being carried by a conveyor arrangement through the machine. This will allow easy access to the printing cylinder. The machine includes a shiftable guide or shutter, which can be moved to a position beneath the printing cylinder when the cylinder is raised from the working position to guide the sheet passing through the station which is not in a working mode.
