Abstract
A sheet-fed printing press includes a plurality of printing units disposed along a sheet-transport path. A transport apparatus (3, 33, 40, 50, 66, 78) is disposed along the sheet-transport path. The sheets are transported through the printing units along the sheet-transport path and, after recto-printing, they are returned along a return-transport path which extends essentially in an opposite direction to the sheet-transport path. The printing press is thus enabled to print recto-and-verso while having a very short structural length.
