A machine arrangement, that sequentially processes sheet-type substrates, includes a plurality of different processing stations, one of which includes a non-impact printing device that prints the substrates. Further processing stations are a primer application device that primes the substrates and a dryer for drying the primer applied to the substrates. The primer application device and the dryer precede the non-impact printing device, in the direction of travel of the substrates. The processing station including the non-impact printing device, also includes a printing cylinder, on the circumference of which, the non-impact printing device that prints the substrates is arranged.

A sheet conveyance apparatus (1) is provided in a sheet-fed offset printing press (2) including a printing unit (11). The printing unit (11) includes an impression cylinder (13) configured to hold and convey a sheet (4) and a printing device (14) configured to print the sheet (4) held by the impression cylinder (13). The sheet conveyance apparatus (1) includes a transfer cylinder (28) configured to hand over the sheet (4) to the impression cylinder (13) of the printing unit (11), and a pressing cylinder (29) configured to press the sheet (4) held by the transfer cylinder (28) against an outer surface of the transfer cylinder (28). The pressing cylinder (29) can press the sheet (4) against the transfer cylinder (28), and sufficiently stretch it.

The processing station, including the non-impact printing device, also includes a printing cylinder, on the circumference of which, the non-impact printing device that prints the substrates is arranged. On the circumferential surface of the printing cylinder, four substrates are or can be placed behind each other in the circumferential direction. Each of the substrates that are to be conveyed are retained in one of a force-locking and a form-fitting manner on the circumferential surface of the printing cylinder by at least one retaining element.
