Abstract:
A method for guiding sheets in a sheet-printing machine, which comprises:conveying the sheets to printing stations in register by sheet-conveying devices, the sheets being joined to the sheet-conveying devices in a secure position by a layer of a reusable adhesive in at least one area covering less than an entire surface of the sheets; providing the sheet-conveying devices with a sheet-guiding, rotating cylinder; applying the layer of the adhesive on the sheet-guiding, rotating cylinder; holding the sheets on the sheet-guiding, rotating cylinder with the layer of the adhesive; and lifting the sheets off a circumferential surface of the sheet-guiding, rotating cylinder counter to adhesive forces of the layer of the adhesive with a sheet-lifting device disposed within a periphery of the sheet-guiding, rotating cylinder, for transferring the sheets to a downstream sheet-conveying device.
