Abstract

A printing table for a flatbed printing machine, for example, a large format digital flatbed printing machine, has a printing table base and a printing table plate disposed on the printing table base. The printing table base is connected by several connecting elements to the printing table plate. The connecting elements permit movement of the printing table plate relative to the printing table base, in particular movement caused by thermal expansion, only in a direction parallel to the printing table surface and only proceeding from a certain area of the printing table plate, the area having a point or line form and being fixed relative to the printing table base.
