The plate-making printing press is constructed by installing a plate-making apparatus in a printing press that supplies ink and dampening water to a printing plate and performs printing on a medium. In order to realize a high-precision plate-making operation, the printing press is equipped with a target disposed on the printing cylinder and a sensor for detecting the target and provided on the writing device, and the zero point of the encoder is corrected. Furthermore, at the time of plate-making, the adjustment mechanism is operated so that the printing cylinder is returned to the position of the point of origin.

Plate-making type printing press, multi-color printing press and plate-making type printing method

A wetting apparatus for offset printing machines comprising a first wetting roller immersed in a pan having dampening solution, a metering roller contacting with the first wetting roller, a second wetting roller contacting with the metering roller and with a printing surface, an ink application roller contacting with the printing surface, an ink receiving roller rotatably in contact with the second wetting roller and movable toward and away from at least one of the metering roller and the ink application roller, a vibrating roller rotatably in contact with the ink application roller, and an ink transferring roller rotatably in contact with the vibrating roller and movable toward and away from the ink receiving roller.
