ABSTRACT:
A registration system for flexible printing plates includes a registration table which, when used in conjunction with a drill apparatus, makes registration and mounting of flexible printing plates on plate cylinders relatively quick and easy. The registration table includes a positioning apparatus against which a plate cylinder is situated. The positioning apparatus is aligned perpendicularly to a table track on which is slideably mounted a plate mounting platform to which the flexible plate is pinned. The plate mounting platform is swept along the track toward the plate cylinder and the flexible plate rolled onto the cylinder, and adhered by double sided sticky tape. The pins affixing the plate to the mounting platform are removed and the remaining plate material rolled onto the cylinder. The process ensures that a selected longitudinal axis of the plate will be in registration, or aligned, with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder.
