<p>The ink package comprising a disposable container is provided for supplying ink to an ink fountain of a lithographic duplicating machine. The self-contained, sealed package is provided with nozzle openings for dispensing ink from the container directly into an ink fountain. When the openings are exposed to the atmosphere the ink used in the container is designed to be within the higher ranges of flowability for lithographic ink, and hence, due to special design of the nozzle openings, is able to flow sluggishly from the container by gravity. The ink dispensed from the container forms an ink bead at the fountain roller which increases in size until it blocks exposure of the nozzle openings to the atmosphere and shuts off the flow from the nozzle openings.</p> |
