printing
Quick Summary
A two-revolution press is a type of cylinder press used in printing. In this press, the cylinder continuously revolves during both the forward and return movements of the printing bed. This contrasts with a stop-cylinder press, where the cylinder stops during the bed's return stroke. The continuous revolution of the cylinder in a two-revolution press allows for a smoother, more regular, and quieter operation compared to presses with stopping cylinders. This design contributes to efficient printing processes.12
