Abstract

A printing press is provided with at least one counterpressure cylinder and with at least one printing roller cantilevered at one end in the rolling stand and at least one inking roller or screen roller of an inking system cantilevered at one end in the rolling stand, where the bearings of the printing roller and screen roller travel, in guide mechanisms, relative to the counterpressure cylinder. In order to ensure that the printing executed by means of the end region of the cantilevered impression cylinder is also perfect, a plate is coupled to the rolling stand, which plate is provided with bearings in order to accommodate the journals of the free ends of the printing and screen rollers. In this regard, the plate can be swung to either a retracted position, in which the cantilevered rollers are freely accessible, or to a operating position, where the journals of the free ends of the rollers are carried by the plate.
