Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0861723A2] In the method the ink-dispenser elements (3) of the inking zones of the ink duct (4) are closed. A further drive of the inker unit (1) serves to return the ink into the ink duct by the cyclical movement of the lifter (5) occurring between the ductor (6) and the friction roller (7). The ductor and lifter cycle are driven more rapidly than the printer. Before the ink is returned, the ink-transfer is separated between the rollers (7-10) nearer the ink duct and the rollers (12-21) nearer the plate cylinder (22).
