  • the Lower part forms the colorimeter.
  • This colorimeter is adjustable relative to the ink fountain roller, wherein between the lower part and ink fountain roller is the ink supply, the is limited at the two end faces by color box jaws, which faces the ink fountain Seal the lateral surface of the ink fountain roller by means of a sealing surface.
  • this may also be formed spirally extending.
  • the sealing effect of the known from DE 34 08 183 C 1 contact surface depends essentially from the manufacturing precision of the ink fountain jaws, further from their positioning accuracy in relation to the ink fountain roller.
  • a curvature deviation of color box jaw and the ink fountain roller remains due to inevitably occurring manufacturing tolerances.
  • the elastic elastomer material used for the paint box jaws is subject to humidity and temperature fluctuations, which makes the printing machine to a very wide variety Production conditions.

  • the dosage of the ink supply 5 by employment of the ground the ink fountain color meter 4, which zonewise into individual Farbmesserzache may be divided or as a whole on the surface 14 of the ink fountain roller. 3 to or from this can be turned off.
  • the color supply 5 against unwanted, lateral leakage from the Farbzu09 spurious side panels 1 and 2 have contact surfaces 16 whose contour each adapted to the curvature of the surface 14 of the ink fountain roller 3 to thus the closest possible concern of the side parts 1, 2 to the surface 14 of the ink fountain roller 3 cause.
  • the side parts 1, 2 of the ink supply have a horizontally extending upper edge 27, which limit the maximum filling height of the ink fountain.
  • the side part 1 starts with a sealing surface 21 on the color knife 4 of a color box, wherein the colorimeter 4 with a color knife edge 20 on the surface 14 of the ink fountain roller 3 is applied to the supply of the Farbvorrates 5 in the rollers of an inking unit, what is not shown here in detail, to dose.
