Abstract: A method for operating an inking system of a printing press, where the inking system has an ink fountain in which printing ink is kept in readiness, where the inking system has a doctor roller which holds printing ink kept in readiness in the ink fountain, where the inking system has ink sliders or ink blades which adjust the amount of ink to be transferred per ink zone from the ink fountain to the doctor roller, and where the inking system has a film roller which transfers printing ink from the doctor roller to at least one inking system roller downstream from the film roller. At least one ink slider or ink blade is controlled in such a way that the amount of ink transferred zonally to the doctor roller varies over the circumference of the doctor roller.

Abstract: A method for the open-loop or closed-loop control of a process for the production of printed copies, is disclosed. A printing material being printed and subsequently further processed in order to produce printed copies, the printing material being moved through at least one printing unit of a press in order to print a static or unchanging printed image. The printing material is printed with dynamic or changing open-loop or closed-loop control data, for this purpose the printing material being moved through at least one printing device synchronized with the, or each, printing unit, and the open-loop or closed-loop control data being read from or on the printing material and being used for the open-loop or closed-loop control of the printing process and/or further processing process.
