Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a first plate cylinder with a squeeze roller disposed therearound. The squeeze roller is connected to a squeeze roller moving mechanism that moves the squeeze roller between a squeeze position adjacent the peripheral surface of the first plate cylinder, and a standby position spaced away from the peripheral surface of the first plate cylinder. When in the standby position, the squeeze roller is shielded from the first plate cylinders by a shield connected to a shield moving mechanism.
