Abstract
To facilitate the attachment and adjustment of a printing plate on the outer surface of the plate cylinder of a printing machine, a layer of friction-reducing material is applied to the underside of the printing plate or the outer surface of the plate cylinder or both. The friction-reducing, sliding material may be a thermoset material, a thermoplastic material or an inorganic dry lubricant. The sliding material may be burnt into the supporting surface or bonded thereto by an adhesion promoting substrate layer.
