Abstract (en)

An ink re-use system for printing machines wherein a plurality of individual tanks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) is provided for the differing colours, one tank with a clean cleaning agent (9) and one tank for the collection of the dirty cleaning agent (11), which comprises at least one additional tank (14) for the collection of the ink that has been diluted and transferred, in such a way that it establishes a bi-directional relationship between at least one additional tank (14) and one of the individual tanks filled with coloured ink. In this way an appreciable reduction of the quantity of dark diluted ink is achieved with the consequent saving in the amount to be distilled.
