A wash-up system includes a feed pump (38) and a return pump (40) for circulating a liquid coating material through a doctor reservoir (24) for applying protective or decorative liquid coating material to freshly printed sheets in a rotary offset printing press (14). A portable console control unit (10) includes flow control valves (42, 44, 46) for operating the system in a PURGE/replenishment mode, a COAT mode, a WASH mode and a DRAIN mode. The components for pumping and valving the coating liquid and cleaning liquid are enclosed within the portable console unit, which may be remotely located with respect to the press (14). Cleaning liquid and waste materials are stored in internal reservoirs (34, 36) within the portable console unit. The system may be cleaned without removing the coater or coater parts from the press, and without exposing press personnel to potentially toxic waste material The coater assembly may be operated in combination with a plate cylinder (16), a blanket cylinder (18) or a delivery/transfer cylinder (22).
