Abstract
A device for feeding printing plates to a plate cylinder in a printing press includes a pivotable guide element. The pivotable guide element has pivotable guide members which are in contact with an image side of the printing plate when the printing plate is being fed to the plate cylinder. These pivotable guide members are disposed in such a way that they can be disengaged from the printing plate when the printing plate is being wrapped around the plate cylinder. A sheet-fed rotary printing press having the device, is also provided.
