摘要

The invention relates to a method for applying a printing plate (2, 32) to a printing cylinder (41), comprising the steps of: providing a printing cylinder on a printing cylinder receptacle (43), placing a front edge of the printing plate (2, 32) on the printing cylinder (41) and initiating a rotary movement on the printing cylinder (43), alignment of the printing plate (2, 32) with a positioning device (46) which has a detection device (47) for detecting a positioning geometry (5; 6; 8) to be aligned transversely to the printing cylinder axis (44) ; 15; 16) of the pressure plate (2, 32) and adjustment means (51) for lateral position adjustment of a pressure plate section. According to the invention, the detection device (47) detects a cutting edge (6) of the printing plate (2, 32) which is oriented transversely to the printing cylinder axis (44).
