Abstract (en)

A gravure printing machine has first and second printing means arranged in a frame and capable of continuous printing without having to terminate the operation. A retractable impression roller, when retracted, from either the first or second machine enables a web to follow a travel path between the image transfer nip of one printing machine and the impression roller, the latter serving as an idler roller. A controller means is used to reposition the retracted impression roller into contact and alignment with a print roller, and for sequentially retracting the retractable impression roller from the other printing machine so as to accommodate printing by the other machine. <IMAGE>
