Additional preparation:
• Fix the protective impression cylinder jacket as described in chapter 3, step I.
• Set the substrate thickness for the first print to 0.35 mm and also move the pressure
setting on the relevant printing unit to -0.10 mm compression to create a clearance
of 0.35 mm between the blanket cylinder bearer height and the surface of the print-
ing cylinder. This corresponds to a distance of 0.10 mm to the surface of the protec-
tive impression cylinder jacket.
Mounting the base plate
• Remove the blanket.
• Hang the calibrated packing sheet at the start of the blanket cylinder, following the
instructions and sketch below (figs. 3 and 4).
• Hang the Print Start edge of the RSP base plate onto the front expansion shaft of the
blanket cylinder.
• Now turn the expansion shaft of the blanket cylinder such that the base plate position
marking (Print Start) lines up with the Print Start line of the blanket (Fig. 2).
• Draw in the RSP base plate together with the calibrated RSP packing sheet by inching
it forwards. Hang the RSP base plate onto the rear expansion shaft of the blanket cyl-
inder and tension using a torque wrench set to 25 Nm.
• Check the front position marking once more.
• Tighten the locking screws on the blanket cylinder expansion shafts.
