The invention relates to a device for maintaining an edge of a print media against a printing drum, said drum comprising a surface on which a print media is wrapped for printing thereon, wherein said device comprises at least one holder which comprises an abutment portion against which an edge of the media abuts before or during wrapping of the media on the drum surface, the holder being adapted to bring an upstanding portion of the media into contact with the drum surface by performing a movement with respect to the drum surface between a media edge reception position and a media edge clamping position, the movement of the holder from said reception position to said clamping position being performed in such a way that as the holder approaches the clamping position the distance between the edge of the media and the abutment portion of the holder increases, or remains substantially the same, thereby allowing the media in its clamping position to be substantially flat on the drum surface.
