H. without Complete entry of the section and page number of the respective copy page is selected automatically. According to a further embodiment, it is not required that the operator print the copy on the console in a particular positioned in a predetermined manner.
  • Video camera 1 shows an operator station 100, which is arranged above an operator console 2
  • Video camera 1 includes.
  • the operator console 2 has a console surface 22 the operator 5 both an original copy 3 and one in the printing press freshly printed copy, which is also referred to below as a signature will be able to place.
  • a light source 4 is connected to the console 2 via a support 24 connected.
  • At the lower end of the console surface 22 there are several switching elements 6 arranged to adjust the amount of color in the color zones of each Ink boxes of the printing press are operated manually by operator 5.
  • the Switching elements 6 can, for example, each have pairs of the respective color zones assigned buttons, which when pressing a first, for. B.
  • the top button of a pair of buttons the amount of color in the respective color zone is increased and at Pressing the button below the pair the color amount of each Color zone is reduced.
  • the amount of paint just set came with the help of several rows of LEDs arranged above the button pairs are displayed.
  • FIG. 2 shows the individual components of the device according to the invention, which (a) for loading initial comparison or sample images and for determining their position and (b) to identify the pages of a printed signature and to Selection of the corresponding ink fountains or ink fountain keys of the ink fountains after Pressure can be used.
  • the Comparative copy 3 can have several pages, for example the Total number of pages of a magazine to be printed.
  • the operator turns the pages of the comparison copy 3, which is caused by the video camera 1 is recorded.
  • An image digitizer 7 digitizes that of the Video camera 1 recorded images and stores the digitized images in one Image memory 9 from. After turning each page, the operator identifies by pressing z.
  • the digitized images and their associated ones Identification features or page and section numbers in the case of a digital generated original or comparative copy from a digital prepress system or possibly also provided by another external image source 27 and directly in the Image memory 9 can be read.
  • the digital generation of the original or comparison images in the prepress system the image memory of the prepress system or an external image source Image memory 9 forms.
  • the image memory 9 the digitized images of the original copy and the Page number or other identification feature of everyone in the Printing machine filed for printing.
  • the operator After the machine prints a signature or image, the operator checks it Quality of the image to the correct color intensity. The operator opens the signature and opens the page he wishes to correct (and possibly at all has no page number) and places it on the console surface 22. Then that printed image taken by the video camera 1, by the image digitizer 7 digitized and in an image comparator 8 with the multitude of images stored in the image memory 9 compared. If a match is found the image comparator 8 gives the associated page number or the associated one Identification feature of the printed on the console surface 22 Image, for example, on a display not shown in the drawings on the Console surface 22.
  • the image comparator 8 can different parameters may be required. For example, a certain percentage (e.g. 95% or 100%) of the digitized data of the printed image with the digitized data of the original image copy match.
  • the Image comparator 8 also only a certain part of the image or images, e.g. B. the top right corner, compare.
  • the image digitizing device 7 can use data compression software included to compress the image data, and the compressed data can can also be compared by the image comparator 8.
  • the page number shown on the display or in some other way or by the comparison identified other identification feature can in the operator the simplest cases are then shown directly on the display. Using one The operator then assigns the corresponding color box to the page number in the table corresponding color, the intensity of which in one or more of the color zones of the Signature picture should be changed.
  • the Assignment of the correct color box for the corresponding color to a previous one identified page number takes place automatically, for example via the central Control device of the printing press without the operator making the assignment independently must make.
  • the operator positions the corresponding signature page in the the ink supply of a printing ink is to be changed in a specific ink zone, directly above the switching elements 6 of the console surface 22.
  • the operator selects an image composed of several colors via an in the Figures not shown select button, the respective printing ink, the amount in one certain area or a certain zone of the signature image 13 can be changed should.
  • the signature is aligned on the console surface 22 by the operator in such a way that the switching elements 6 with the color metering elements, d. H. e.g. B. the ink keys, match in the color box in question, what for on the console surface 22, for example, a stop can be provided against which the signature is created.
