Abstract:
1. A rotary printing press, comprising a printing plate-based printing unit for printing a substrate web with a static print image for print copies of a print job, and a plate-free printing unit for printing the substrate web with a dynamic print image for the print copies of the print job, wherein the plate-free printing unit is shiftable from a printing position in which the substrate web is printable by the plate-free printing unit into a service position in which the substrate web is not printable by the plate-free printing unit, further comprising a device which is printable by the plate-free printing unit when the plate-free printing unit is shifted into the service position wherein the device comprises a rotationally drivable cylinder with a plate that is positioned on a circumference of the cylinder and wherein the cylinder is drivable so that a circumferential speed of the plate corresponds to a rate of conveyance of the substrate web to be printed by the plate-free printing unit, and further comprising a measurement device wherein a printing of the device is detectable and analyzable by the measurement device such that printing parameters of the plate-free printing unit are automatically adaptable for printing on the substrate web.
