Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1661703A2] The invention relates to a method of cleaning and keeping clean an inking unit (1) of a printing device, in which for cleaning the successive inking rollers (7,8) of the inking unit (1), a cleaner is applied onto a first part of the inking rollers, and after complete or partial cleaning of the first part, cleaner is applied on a further part of the inking rollers. Thus, it is achieved that the rollers (7,8) always have enough grip between them for being able to continue driving them during cleaning. The invention also provides for that the fine haze that can arise during normal operation of the inking unit, but also during cleaning thereof, is extracted.
