Abstract:
1. In a printing press having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate, a method of preparing the printing press for printing, comprising: coupling an adjustment tool to the transfer cylinder substantially parallel to an axis of the transfer cylinder; coupling a first end of a flexible jacket to a first attachment structure coupled to the transfer cylinder, wherein the first attachment structure is proximate to a first axial edge of the transfer cylinder; placing the flexible jacket around the transfer cylinder and over the adjustment tool; coupling the second end of the flexible jacket to a second attachment structure coupled to the transfer cylinder, wherein the second attachment structure is proximate to a second axial edge of the transfer cylinder, wherein the flexible jacket is coupled to the first attachment structure and the second attachment structure without free play when the adjustment tool is disposed between the transfer cylinder and the flexible jacket; and withdrawing the adjustment tool from between the transfer cylinder and the flexible jacket while the flexible jacket remains coupled to the first attachment structure and the second attachment structure, whereby an amount of free play of the flexible jacket remains.
