• the ink is removed from the central roller by means of an inking roller and transferred to the forme cylinder
• two inking rollers are available in the inking roller train, which also take ink from the central roller and transfer it to the inking roller via a rider roller.
• the forme cylinder which carries the printing plates, can be attached to a blanket cylinder, for example a blanket cylinder in order in this way to print a web of printing material running along the blanket cylinder in offset printing
• the various rollers of the inking unit, the forme cylinder and the blanket cylinder are brought into contact with one another and then accelerated together.
• the ink application device is started, for example by switching on an ink pump
