Claim Text:
1. A proof printing press comprising: a blanket; segment plates; a plate cylinder rotatably supported and including, on an outer circumference thereof, a working surface; an intaglio printing plate mounted on the working surface of the plate cylinder; an impression cylinder rotatably supported to face the plate cylinder and including, on an outer circumference thereof, a working surface configured to hold a sheet; a collecting cylinder rotatably supported to face the plate cylinder and including, on an outer circumference thereof, a working surface on which the blanket is mounted; a plurality of chablon cylinders disposed along a circumferential direction of the collecting cylinder, rotatably supported to face the collecting cylinder, and including, on outer circumferences thereof, working surfaces on which the segment plates are mounted; a plurality of form rollers rotatably supported to face the chablon cylinders, respectively; a plurality of ink supplying means for supplying inks to the form rollers, respectively; and wiping means disposed to face the plate cylinder between a downstream side of a facing position, where the plate cylinder faces the collecting cylinder, in a rotation direction of the plate cylinder and an upstream side of a facing position, where the plate cylinder faces the impression cylinder, in the rotation direction of the plate cylinder, the wiping means removing ink on a surface of the intaglio printing plate of the plate cylinder, wherein the plate cylinder, being a multiple-size cylinder, configured to mount thereon a plurality of the intaglio printing plates aligned in the circumferential direction, while the number of the working surface is only one, each of the chablon cylinders is a single-size cylinder, each of the chablon cylinders has a diameter such that the chablon cylinder rotates a plurality of times, while the plate cylinder rotates once, the impression cylinder, the collecting cylinder, and the wiping means are positioned relative to the plate cylinder such that a length in a circumferential direction of outer circumferential surfaces of the form rollers is equal to a length in a circumferential direction of the working surfaces of the chablon cylinders, and the proof printing press further comprising: a controller that sets
