Method for regulating ink distribution in a printing machine

摘要

A method for regulating ink distribution in a printing machine is disclosed. In accordance with the disclosed method, a basic ink quantity and a compensating ink film thickness are determined for a printing plate to be loaded into the printing machine. All of the inking rollers of the printing machine are fed ink until the ink thickness on each roller is substantially equal to the compensating ink thickness. A steady state ink distribution within the printing machine will be attained relatively quickly, thereby minimizing print waste and time required to attain steady state.
