Abstract
A flexible plate is removed from the surface of a cylinder in a rotary printing press by supplying a fluid under pressure to a chamber into which the plate ends have been inserted. The fluid under pressure creates a positive pressure in the chamber which is sufficient to push at least one of the plate ends out of the chamber.
