Abstract
A multi-color, web-fed rotary printing press provides a shortened construction. A web passes vertically downwardly through a plurality of bridge printing units which are arranged one above the other. A lowermost one of these bridge printing units has a transfer cylinder that changes the path of web travel from a generally vertical direction to a generally horizontal direction in route to a downstream located device, such as a drying device.
