Abstract

The device for supplying printing plates to plate cylinders of printing machines includes elements for holding and for guiding printing plates. The plates can thereby be supplied to at least two different plate cylinders. The plate-holding assembly can thereby be pivoted into at least two different plate changing positions for feeding (and removing) printing printing plates at at least two printing units.
