Abstract
An interchangeable ink fountain system for use in duplicating machines, such as offset lithographic machines. A plurality or set of ink fountains is provided for removable mounting on either a duplicating machine or a preparation station. Complementary interengaging supports are provided on each ink fountain and each of the duplicating machine and preparation station for selectively and removably mounting an ink fountain on either the duplicating machine or the preparation station. The preparation station includes a housing and light means in the housing behind the ink fountain for directing light through the ink flow through gap of the empty fountain, whereby an operator can readily visualize the gap dimensions while adjusting the same.
