Abstract: A method and a system for producing a printing form for a printing process on a printing press, produces a first printing form based on first image data and prints a printing image on a printing substrate with the printing form. Printing presses without inking zones do not permit regulation of quantitative ink supply with inking zones screws. To permit a printer to manipulate ink density on a printing substrate even after exposure of a first printing plate within a printing press without inking zones, correction values are generated in the vicinity of the printing press in regions on the basis of at least a printing image printed on the printing substrate. The correction values are then used for correcting printing originals on which printing is based and/or screened image data and at least one second printing form is produced on the basis of at least the correction values.

Abstract: A printing apparatus is disclosed wherein rocking motion of a movably mounted inking roll assembly is controlled by a cam and follower arrangement coupled to the drive system for a pivoting printing member. The cam and follower arrangement allows coordinated movement of the printing member and inking roll assembly to be obtained in a simple manner and without employing separate drive means for rocking the inking roll assembly. The cam contour is advantageously chosen so that the inking roll is moved gradually toward and then away from the pivot axis of the printing member as the line of contact between the printing element and the inking roll progresses from the leading edge of the printing element to the trailing edge. Such movement of the inking roll maintains uniform tangential contact between the inking roll and the entire surface of a flat printing element as the latter is moved in an arcuate path by the printing member.

At the same time, a second ratchet and pawl arrangement is effective to remove the brake during the incremental label stock advancement. The feed and brake release ratchets are preferably integrally connected to opposite sides of the feed wheel. Mechanisms are also provided for ensuring removal of the brake prior to incremental label stock advancement and for manually latching the brake in its released position during loading of label stock in the apparatus.

Abstract: There is shown an inking apparatus for stamping on a localized area, and with a speedy application, a selected reproduction to a travelling or advanced product. This inking roller is free-turning with a light brake to prevent free wheeling. A four-bar linkage is used with two eccentrics. One eccentric is preferably rotated with at least twice the revolutions of the other eccentric. The four-bar linkage carries on an extending end of a first bar the stamp which is moved into peripheral engagement of the inking roller and then to the surface of the product. The movement of the stamp is in a path prescribed by the eccentrics and the four-bar linkage. The stamp in its peripheral engagement with the inking roller causes said roller to be inched forward rotationally to present a fresh surface to the stamp when next brought to the inking roller.
