In a printing press and attached onto the transfer cylinders, an
anti-marking system that uniformly supports the transport and the release
of the wet printed sheet from one station to the next. The anti-marking
sheet consists of a two plus layer system, the outer layer being a
textured surface and the inner layer being a microcellular material that
is both compressible and resilient. The outer textured layer may be
treated with either conductive/anti-static layers or an ink repellent
layer or both. The two plus layer system is easily attached to both
transfer cylinders and tracking/skeleton wheels using any combination of
fixtures from Velcro.TM., magnetic, metallic, and pressure sensitive
double sided tape to elastic loops.
