Abstract: The printed sheets are scanned, by image elements, immediately behind the last printing mechanism, with one or several measuring heads. Suitable dimensions of an image element range from approximately 1.times.1 mm.sup.2 to 10.times.10 mm.sup.2. In each image element the reflectance is measured in four spectral ranges (infrared for black, red for cyan, green for magenta and blue for yellow). The measured reflectance values are converted by means of Neugebauer equations into surface coverages in a demasking step and inputted to a computer for evaluation. With the same measuring device, both the reference values associated with OK sheets, and the actual values associated with continuous printing, are measured. The computer compares the measured data, weights them with respect to such factors as surface coverage, foreign color component and the environment of a respective image element, and produces a regulating signal to control the ink feed elements.
