    Patent number: 6067906
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing ink to an ink fountain of a printing press. A flexible bag of ink is utilized and is compressed for forcing the ink into the fountain, and a sensor determines the level of ink in the fountain and thus controls the force on the bag, that is, the compressor on the bag. The flexible bag of ink is subjected to a compressor, which can be a flexible air-filled bladder which forces against the ink bag to compress the ink therefrom and into an ink fountain.
