Abstract
A printing apparatus equipped for disk shaped print masters is provided with a magazine carrousel for four standardized double magazines and a disk carrousel to transport the print masters through individual processing stations. Different transport means effect the transport of the individual print masters from an active delivery magazine to the disk carrousel and from this back to an active receiving magazine. When a delivery magazine is empty, the magazine carrousel is advanced one step so that new magazines are automatically inserted in the place of the formerly active magazines. Follower transport means are provided to place the masters remaining on the disk carrousel into the formerly active receiving magazine after the stepping movement of the magazines. A printing apparatus designed in this manner renders possible a practically uninterrupted printing operation.
