Abstract
In a printing press having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate, an anti-marking device is provided. The anti-marking device comprises an assembly of at least two flexible jackets, the assembly removably attached with free play to the transfer cylinder, wherein an outermost flexible jacket supports the freshly printed substrate as it passes over the transfer cylinder and wherein the outermost flexible jacket is removable from the assembly while the assembly remains attached to the transfer cylinder. In an embodiment, a base cover is attached to the transfer cylinder, and the assembly is removably attached with free play to the transfer cylinder over the base cover.
