Claim Text:
1. A method for accomplishing an in-register arrangement of at least two printing plates positioned on at least two plate cylinders of a printing press to each other, the printing press having at least one printing unit and at least one transfer cylinder forming a print gap in a contact area of the at least one transfer cylinder with a further cylinder, the at least one transfer cylinder being in contact with a plurality of plate cylinders of the printing unit wherein, depending on at least one print image printed on a print substrate by the printing press, adjustments for at least one of a temperature of at least one printing plate arranged on at least one of the at least two plate cylinders, at least one cylinder barrel of at least one plate cylinder of the at least two plate cylinders of the printing press and at least one temperature control means interacting with this at least one printing plate and this at least one plate cylinder are determined, and the at least one of the one temperature of this at least one printing plate and of this at least one cylinder barrel and of this at least one temperature control means is changed in accordance with the adjustments, and where the at least one plate cylinder has at least one channel having at least one tensioning device, the at least one tensioning device including at least one front clamping device for clamping a front end of a respective printing plate and including at least one rear clamping device for clamping a rear end of this respective printing plate and wherein at least one register pattern of the print substrate is recorded and, depending on the at least one register pattern, determining adjustments for at least one adjusting element of the at least one tensioning device, the at least one adjusting element of the at least one tensioning device including at least one of a front contact body for adjusting a distance of the at least one front clamping device from a first channel wall of the at least one channel, at least one rear spacer for adjusting a distance of the at least one rear clamping device from a second channel wall of the at least one channel and at least one axial drive for adjusting a position of the at least one rear clamping device with respect to an axial direction which is parallel to an axis of rotation of the at least one plate cylinder.
