The invention relates to a sheet-fed printing press having a feeder, a delivery, and at least one sheet guiding cylinder, which is arranged between the feeder and the delivery, has a gripper system, and is assigned a digital printing system and a first sheet guiding system that removes sheets from the sheet guiding cylinder. The object of the invention is to devise a sheet-fed printing press that can be used in a more variable fashion, and with which a particularly wide spectrum of different products can be produced. According to the invention, the object is attained in that the first sheet guiding system () is configured for selectively transferring the sheets to a second sheet guiding system (), which transfers the sheets to the sheet guiding cylinder (), or for transferring said sheets to the delivery (), wherein the second sheet guiding system () is configured as a perfecting system () and can be switched between an operating mode in which it feeds the sheets in a reversed position to the sheet guiding cylinder () and an operating mode in which it feeds the sheets in a non-reversed position to the sheet guiding cylinder.
