Abstract
A plate end of a flexible printing plate is released or ejected from a narrow slit in the surface of a plate cylinder. A rotatable spindle is situated adjacent a radial inner end of the cylinder slit. This spindle carries a group of resilient ejectors having free ends that are engageable with the plate ends during rotation of the spindle and which push the plate ends out of the narrow cylinder slit.
