Abstract
A plurality of printing systems are stacked above each other to form a printing system tower assembly. Two such structures are provided, constructed in form of the mirror image. Each printing system, including a forme or gravure cylinder and a printing or impression cylinder, is closely associated with a drying chamber, within which hot-air dryers are located. The respective, stacked drying chambers are separated from each other by fire-resistant separating walls. A web is guided through the first printing system tower assembly and then, in similar manner, through the second mirror-image printing system tower assembly, to thereby permit prime and verso printing, in multi-color reproduction, without turning of the web. The dryers are energy-efficient since external radiation therefrom is effectively prevented due to their back-to-back positioning and construction.
