Abstract

The two beveled ends of a sheet-shaped flexible support, such as a printing plate, are inserted in a slit in a plate cylinder. A bore extends laterally adjacent the slit and carries an inflatable hose. The hose can be inflated to apply a holding force against the plate ends positioned in the cylinder slit.
