ink metering (In French dosage de l’encre) task of the inking units in the printing press. The metering of printing ink can be effected from the central control console in the total ink quantity (by means of fountain or screen roller) and the individual ink keys (by means of ink slides) or is a component in a color control device, e.g. KBA QualiTronic ColorControl. Pre-metering (CIP3 ink key presetting, printing ink profile) on the basis of the print forme data is normal when ink flows at the beginning of a new print job.
