ABSTRACT:
A registering tool and registering method enables adhering of flexographic printing plates to the cylindrical surface of a rotary press plate cylinder in a manner which assures that the upper and lower edges of the plate are aligned in a strictly parallel relationship with the axis of rotation of the plate cylinder. The tool includes a channel shaped elongated bar having side walls with lower edges which are rested on the cylindrical surface of the cylinder in parallel relationship with the axis of the cylinder. A row of register pin receiving openings extends along a side wall of the bar in parallel relationship with the lower edge of the side wall. The printing plate is temporarily pinned to the bar with register pins which are inserted into registration holes in the printing plate that are equidistant from the upper edge of the plate. A first portion of the plate is then adhered to the cylinder. The plate is then unpinned and the bar is removed enabling the remainder of the plate to be wrapped around the cylinder and adhered thereto.
