Abstract: A greasy ink printing press including a rubber coated inking cylinder coacting with a plate cylinder has an inking device comprising a wiping cylinder formed by a small diameter rod pressed against the inking cylinder in a zone of downward movement thereof, with an ink trough formed in the space above the zone of contact of the rod and inking cylinder. A variable-speed electric motor rotates the rod in the same direction of rotation as the inking cylinder to laminate the ink between the rod and inking cylinder and provide a counter-current wiping of the inking cylinder. The rod may be reciprocated longitudinally to remove streaks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bookbinding process in which each page is glued by its dorsal edge, characterized by the fact that a coating consistent with the used binding glue is deposited, before folding and cutting of the signatures, along one or more areas located on both sides of the folding lines of the paper sheet for forming said signatures, that after folding and assembling several signatures the dorsal part thereof is trimmed in such a manner that the coated area emerges on the dorsal edge of the pages, and that the thus obtained assembly of pages is glued by means of an appropriate binding glue, as well as to the binding obtained by this process in which the faces of the pages comprise in a zone next to the dorsal edge thereof a layer of a coating which easily binds itself with the binding glue used.
