Abstract
There is described an intaglio printing press comprising (i) a stationary machine frame () supporting an intaglio printing cylinder () and an impression cylinder () contacting the intaglio printing cylinder (), (ii) an inking system () for inking the intaglio printing cylinder (), which inking system () comprises an ink-collecting cylinder () de-signed to contact the intaglio printing cylinder () and at least one inking device () for supplying ink to said ink-collecting cylinder (), and (iii) at least a first mobile carriage () supporting the ink-collecting cylinder (), which first mobile carriage () is adapted to be moved with respect to the stationary machine frame () between a working position where the ink-collecting cylinder () contacts the intaglio printing cylinder () and a retracted position where the ink-collecting cylinder () is retracted away from the intaglio printing cylinder (). The intaglio printing press further comprises a correcting and adjusting system () for correcting and adjusting a rotational position of the ink-collecting cylinder () with respect to a rotational position of the intaglio printing cylinder () following maintenance operations to ensure proper circumferential register between the ink-collecting cylinder () and the intaglio printing cylinder () in the working position of the first mobile carriage ().
