ABSTRACT:
Mounting means for mounting a printing plate on a printing plate cylinder are provided. The mounting means include a mounting member or sheet made of a plastic sheet material which is solvent resistant, strong, dimensionally stable, conforms truly to the printing plate cylinder, and is of uniform thickness. The leading edge of the mounting member is turned back to form a structurally-integral lip thereon which is readily connected to a mounting flange on the printing plate cylinder. The mounting means further include a mounting strap which affixes the mounting member on the cylinder with the lip engaged with the flange of the cylinder. The mounting strap has a first portion received in an opening of the mounting member and a second portion having an integral lip which engages another mounting flange of the printing cylinder. A resilient band connects the first and second portions and is in tension when the first portion is connected to the mounting member and the second portion is connected to the cylinder flange. Preferably two resilient bands are used so that one will still hold the mounting member if the other breaks. The two mounting portions of the mounting strap preferably are made of plastic sheet material so that if they become loose, they will not damage the inking rolls employed with the cylinder.
