Abstract

A guide device for moving sheet material in printing presses, which by means of blown air, presses the sheet material flat against the cylindrical surface of a transporting drum or a cylinder, essentially without any contact between the sheet material and the guide device. The guide device can have a guide plate which generates a stream of blown air in the direction opposite to the direction of travel of the moving sheet material.
