Abstract:
A printing unit comprising:at least three rotating bodies which cooperate in pairs in a print-on position of the printing unit, said at least three rotating bodies including a counter-pressure cylinder, at least one forme cylinder which cooperates with said counter-pressure cylinder in the print-on position, and at least one inking roller which cooperates with said forme cylinder in the print-on position; a drive motor for said at least one forme cylinder; and a drive motor for said counter-pressure cylinder, said at least one forme cylinder drive motor and said counter-pressure cylinder drive motor being out of drive connection with any other of said at least three rotating bodies, each said at least one forme cylinder and said counter-pressure cylinder being selectively rotatable by each said associated drive motor at a set-up rotational speed, and at a production rotational speed, each said set-up rotational speed and said production rotational speed for each said at least one forme cylinder and said counter-pressure cylinder being different from a zero rotational speed.
