Abstract

A counter-pressure apparatus for offset sheet machines for effectuating perforations and/or punchings comprises a foil provided with strips at two opposing of its edges. This foil is arranged for being fastened within fixing structure of a rubber blanket cylinder or of a forme cylinder of a printing group or of a coating module of the printing machine. The use of the foil, made e.g. of chronium steel, instead of a prior art rubber blanket results in much better perforations or punching apertures. Further, the printing machine can maintain its usual printing speed.
