1. A method for varying the degree of overlap of printed products conveyed in an imbricated flow, such as newspapers, periodicals and the like, in which the spacing (A1) between successive products (24) is varied by increasing or decreasing the conveying speed (v2) of the imbricated formation (S), characterised in that a time-dependent quantity characterising the sequence of products is determined by a scan (26) of the products (24) in the incoming imbricated flow (S), the required conveying speed (V2) is determined on the basis of this quantity and of a preset reference value (SA2) of the spacing (A2) between successive products, and the imbricated formation is carried off at a conveying speed raised or lowered according to the determined required conveying speed (v2) to establish the required spacing (A2).
