Aus der EP 0 459 755 A1 ist eine Farbfüllstandskontrolle im Farbkasten für eine Offsetdruckmaschine bekannt. Mittels Sensor wird der Füllstand im Farbkasten nach dem Echolotprinzip ermittelt und unter Verwendung eines Mikroprozessors wird die erforderliche Farbzufuhr unter Berücksichtigung der Trägheit der Druckfarbe berechnet. From EP 0 459 755 A1 there is an ink level control in the ink fountain known for an offset printing machine. Using a sensor the fill level in the ink fountain is determined according to the sonar principle and using a microprocessor does the necessary Ink supply taking into account the inertia of the printing ink calculated.

Ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Verbrauches von Druckfarbe ist aus der DE 3 835 221 C2 bekannt. Neben einer vor Druckbeginn durchgeführten Berechnung der voraussichtlich erforderlichen Farbmenge wird der Farbverbrauch kontinuierlich berechnet und die verbrauchte Farbmenge wird mit der in den Farbkasten eingebrachten Menge kontinuierlich verglichen. Ein Nachfüllen der noch zur Verfügung stehenden Farbmenge während der Durchführung des Druckauftrages wird hinfällig. Die Lösung ist relativ aufwendig, da sehr viele Daten erfaßt und verarbeitet werden müssen. A method for determining the consumption of printing ink is over known from DE 3 835 221 C2. In addition to a pre-print run Calculation of the expected amount of paint the color consumption is continuously calculated and the used one The amount of paint is added to the amount of ink in the paint box continuously compared. A refill is still available   standing amount of color during the execution of the print job will lapse. The solution is relatively complex because there are many Data must be recorded and processed.  

Aus der DE-A 23 24 462 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Aufrechterhalten eines vorherbestimmten Pegelstandes der Druckfarbe in einem Farbkasten bekannt. Die Vorrichtung weist u.a. einen Zähler auf, der anzeigt, wie oft Druckfarbe dem Farbkasten zugeführt wurde. From DE-A 23 24 462 is a device for maintaining a predetermined level of the ink in a color box known. The device has i.a. a counter that shows the number of times ink is printed was fed to the ink fountain.

Schließlich ist aus der DE-U-94 06 347 (ver öffentlicht am 14.07.94,) eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Druckfarbe an Rotationsdruckmaschinen bekannt, die ein in den Farbkasten reichendes Zuführrohr aufweist.
Das Farbniveau im Farbkasten läßt sich mittels Kontaktgeber über das Zuführrohr in sehr geringer Farbmenge konstant halten, um bei einem Farbwechsel die restliche Farbe schnell entfernen zu können.
Finally, from DE-U-94 06 347 (published on 14.07.94,) a device for supplying printing ink to rotary printing presses is known, which has a supply pipe reaching into the ink fountain.

Gelöst wird dies durch den kennzeichnenden Teil der Patentansprüche 1 und 5. The object of the invention is to develop a solution to the Cleaning effort of paint remaining in the paint box at the end of a print job or during a planned color change reduced. This is solved by the characteristic part of the Claims 1 and 5.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, daß im Farbkasten von Druckbeginn an stets ein minimaler Farbvorrat vorhanden ist, der durch eine gesteuerte Zudosierung der Farbe aus der Farbspendereinrichtung annähernd konstant ist. Der minimale Farbvorrat des Pufferspeichers ist mengenmäßig wesentlich geringer als die herkömmliche Menge an Farbvorrat eines Farbkastens. Die Menge muß gerade ausreichen, um ein Abreißen des Farbfilmes auf der Farbkastenwalze zu vermeiden. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung gestattet eine optimale Ausnutzung der in den Farbkasten zugeführten Farbe und reduziert das Problem der Entsorgung von im Farbkasten verbliebener Restfarbe spürbar. Die Zuführung der Farbe aus einer Farbspendereinrichtung erfolgt in den Pufferspeicher direkt an die farbverbrauchenden Farbdosierelemente. Die vorliegende Lösung eignet sich für Rollen- als auch Bogenoffsetdruckmaschinen. The invention has the advantage that in the ink fountain from the start of printing there is always a minimal supply of color, which is indicated by a controlled dosing of the color from the ink dispenser is approximately constant. The minimum color reserve of the buffer memory is much smaller in quantity than the conventional amount Color supply of a color box. The amount must just be enough to to avoid tearing off the ink film on the ink fountain roller. The solution according to the invention allows optimal use of color fed into the paint box and reduces the problem of Disposal of residual paint remaining in the paint box is noticeable. The The ink is supplied from a paint dispenser to the Buffer memory directly to the color-consuming color metering elements. The present solution is suitable for both web and sheetfed offset presses.

Die Wirkungsweise ist wie folgt: In den Farbkasten 5 wird aus der Farbspendereinrichtung 13 unter Druck Offsetdruckfarbe in den Pufferspeicher 9 zugeführt, bis sich ein minimaler Farbvorrat bildet. Entsprechend des Farbverbrauches wird in den Pufferspeicher 9 wieder Farbe aus der Farbspendereinrichtung 13 zudosiert. Dazu wird die Farbspendereinrichtung 13 parallel zur Farbkastenwalze 7 an die erforderliche, den Farbdosierelementen 8 zugeordnete, Position gefahren. Im vorliegenden Beispiel wird an den Positionen 8.2; 8.3; 8.5; 8.6 und 8.9 mehr Farbe zudosiert (Fig. 3, 4) als bei den übrigen Positionen der Farbdosierelemente 8. Vor Ende des Druckauftrages oder vor einem bevorstehenden Farbwechsel wird die Farbzufuhr aus der Farbspendereinrichtung 13 in den Pufferspeicher 9 gestoppt, wobei die restlichen, noch zu verarbeitenden Bogen noch bedruckt werden, so daß der im Pufferspeicher 9 verbliebene minimale Farbvorrat bei Ende des Druckauftrages annähernd aufgebraucht ist. Der Vorwahlzähler 11 ist auf die zu verarbeitende Bedruckstoffmenge einstellbar z.B. nach den Kriterien der Zeit oder der Bogenanzahl. Ein Steuersignal vor Druckende oder vor einer Druckunterbrechung (z.B. Farbwechsel) bewirkt die Beendigung der Farbzufuhr aus der Farbspendereinrichtung 13. The mode of operation is as follows: In the ink fountain 5 from the Color dispenser 13 under pressure offset printing ink in the Buffer memory 9 fed until there is a minimal supply of color forms. According to the color consumption is in the buffer memory 9 again added color from the ink dispenser 13. To the ink donor device 13 becomes parallel to the ink fountain roller 7 to the required, assigned to the ink metering elements 8, Position driven. In the present example, at the positions 8.2; 8.3; 8.5; 8.6 and 8.9 more color added (Fig. 3, 4) than in the remaining positions of the color metering elements 8. Before the end of Print job or before an upcoming color change Ink supply from the ink dispenser 13 into the buffer memory 9 stopped, with the remaining sheets still to be processed are printed so that the minimum remaining in the buffer memory 9 The ink supply is almost used up at the end of the print job is. The preselection counter 11 is based on the amount of substrate to be processed adjustable e.g. according to the criteria of time or number of sheets. A control signal before the end of printing or before a print interruption (e.g. color change) causes the ink supply from the Color donor device 13.
