Abstract (en)
A method for storing printing plates (4) in a stacker (5) comprises the steps of detecting a printing plate (8) exiting a processor (1) or exiting a baking station, activating a conveying mechanism (2) of a stacker, conveying (A) the printing plate to a rear side (18) of the stacker and deactivating the conveying mechanism when the printing plate reaches the rear side of the stacker. Then further steps comprise tilting (B) the printing plate by means of rotating tilting bars (6) into a plate trolley (5) and returning the tilting bars back to a home position (19) on the stacker. Herein, the tilting the printing plate comprises the substeps of releasing a forcing means (11) from the stacker, and forcing (P) the printing plate away from the tilting bars against a rest position (21) in the trolley. <IMAGE>
