A printing press comprises a pair of left- and right-frames, a first printing plate guiding device provided at a location near a lower plate cylinder, swingably supported so as to be moved between a guiding position for guiding a new printing plate supplied to a lower plate cylinder or a discharged printing plate discharged from the lower plate cylinder and a shelter position released from the lower plate cylinder, a second printing plate guiding device provided at a location near the lower plate cylinder, swingably supported so as to be moved between a guiding position for guiding the new printing plate or the discharged printing plate and a shelter position released from the lower plate cylinder and a safety cover swingably supported so as to be moved between a closing position for closing at least one part of a space formed between the left- and right-frames and a releasing position for releasing the space. The first printing plate guiding device, the second printing plate guiding device and the safety cover are coaxially supported on a supporting axis. Thus, an operation space can be provided at a location near a plate cylinder even if a sufficient space is not provided above a printing unit.
