An infeed device for drawing a material web into a web-fed rotary printing machine in an infeed direction includes an infeed channel, an infeed element guidable in the infeed channel, and an infeed triangle releasably connectable to the infeed element, the infeed triangle having fastened thereto a leading end of the material web to be drawn into the rotary printing machine, and the infeed triangle having, on a side thereof facing towards the infeed channel, a deformation extending at least approximately perpendicularly to the infeed direction.

A method for regulating the ink-to-wetting agent equilibrium in a rotary offset printing machine, the wetting agent quantity being determined especially using the signals of a sensor which measures the light reflectance of an area on the printing form of the rotary printing machine that is wetted by a wetting agent. The method includes: presetting the wetting agent quantity supplied to the printing form, calibrating the wetting agent quantity supplied at an ink quantity that is essentially kept constant, adjusting the wetting agent quantity to a wetting agent quantity setpoint value that is characteristic for the specific print job, increasing or decreasing the ink quantity from an ink quantity setpoint value to an ink quantity target value that is desirable for the printing job to be processed, and a corresponding increasing or decreasing of the wetting agent quantity setpoint value in the same direction to a wetting agent quantity target value, and regulating the supplied wetting agent quantity in a closed control loop as a function of the wetting agent quantity target value.

In a rotary printing press, a printing unit cylinder having a printing form with bent ends fastened thereon so as to form a printing form cylinder with a printing form mounted thereon, the bent ends of the printing form being provided with fastening tabs extendable into the interior of lock-up gap sections formed in the printing form cylinder, and webs respectively alternatingly disposed opposite one another being formed on a leading edge and on a trailing edge of the printing form, between the fastening tabs of the printing form, includes a plurality of pockets formed on a circumferential surface of the printing form cylinder, wherein the fastening tabs of the printing form engage, the webs provided between the fastening tabs and formed on the printing-form leading edge and the printing-form trailing edge terminating on generating lines of the printing form cylinder which differ from one another.
