A method for controlling a printing press having a first image cylinder for providing at least a first cylinder first image and a first cylinder second image to a printed material and a second image cylinder for providing at least a second cylinder first image and a second cylinder second image to the printed material. The method includes printing a book having individual pages with the first cylinder first image, first cylinder second image, second cylinder first image and the second cylinder second image and providing a first operational mode to an operator of the printing press. The first operational mode permits the operator to review the pages with the first cylinder first image and the first cylinder second image of the book at the same time and to alter the registration of the first image cylinder providing the first cylinder first image and first cylinder second image. The first operational mode also permits an operator to review the pages with the second cylinder first image and the second cylinder second image at the same time and to alter the registration of the second image cylinder providing the second cylinder first image and second cylinder second image. A different second operational mode is provided to the operator for altering characteristics of the individual pages of the book, such as ink zone control.

A method for monitoring processes includes identifying process variables in a process space as operating values, carrying out a measurement of actual values of the operating values, presetting or measuring actual values of at least one operating parameter that influences these operating values, assessing operating values as a function of the operating parameters, and generating a map of the process space by allocating at least one subset of points of the process space to at least two classes which represent a measure of the risk of the operating state of the printing machine. An apparatus for implementing the above-described method has at least one diagnostic apparatus, an input unit, a machine control unit and a display apparatus. The apparatus also has a cartography unit which provides a map of the process space of the operating values as a function of the operating parameters.

Method and apparatus for monitoring processes in a web-processing printing machine

A control device for controlling the printing of at least one web of material in a rotary printing press from a control panel, including an interface system between an operator and individual components of the printing press, further includes an automatic page selector, a memory for storing therein information pertaining to the printing press, products to be printed, control parameters of the individual printing press components, and display parameters of printing process variables, an interrogator for interrogating the memory, and a monitoring/control system for passing on all data to the printing press in order to use a selected component and to modify a variable appertaining thereto.
