Nottinghamshire police had been made aware of the picket.
The plant was saved from closure last week (PrintWeek, 15 March).
But around 60 of the 200-strong workforce are understood to have left after rejecting Polestars proposals. The firm is advertising for electricians as most decided to take redundancy, while it has contracted out its forklift driving.
Polestar is thought to be decommissioning a 16pp Komori web, leaving Chromoworks with three MAN Roland presses a 32pp Lithoman and two 16pp Rotomans.
