A method and apparatus for mounting flexible printing plates on a forme cylinder utilizes one or more insert bars that are positioned in cylinder grooves. Each insert bar has a pair of tensioning bars which are biased circumferentially toward each other. An inflatable tube is positioned between the tensioning bars and upon inflation will spread plate engaging hooked ends of the tensioning bars apart from each other.

A chambered doctor blade for a short inking unit of a rotary press includes an ink receiving chamber and a profiled body positioned in the chamber. The shapes of the profiled body and the ink receiving chamber are complementary and define an ink flow path. This path is tapered in the direction of ink flow and provides a forced circulation of the ink through the tapered flow path.

A pressure fluid supply valve assembly is supported by a cylindrical sleeve that is concentric with an axle journal of a printing unit cylinder. A fluid under pressure is supplied to a generally tubular or cylindrical housing and causes a movable valve member to move into contact with the axle journal. The pressure fluid passes through an outlet in the valve member into radial and axial pressure fluid ducts in the cylinder.
