A printing device for printing on a printable media. The printing device comprises a rotating component (), a gripper mechanically coupled to the rotating component () and configured for loading and unloading the printable media to and from the rotating component (), an actuating element () configured for actuating the gripper, the actuation resulting in a disturbance to the rotation of the rotating component (), and a compensating element () shaped such as to reduce the disturbance by applying a compensating mechanical force to the rotating component () during the rotation of the rotating component ().

A gripper system for controlling the loading and unloading of sheets on a cylindrical sheet guide. The gripper system comprises one or more grippers, which are positioned at an outer edge of the cylindrical sheet guide. Each gripper is coupled to a cam follower. The gripper system further comprises a cam, which is configured for affecting the elevation of the gripper(s) by moving the cam follower(s), and a servomotor, which is adapted for steering the cam. A cam-gripper controller is provided for controlling the servomotor according to a current printing profile.
