Abstract
In a method for measuring ink density of printed sheets by means of photodiodes which scan light reflection from measuring marks provided on printed sheets, the start of a dynamic measuring process during the running of the printing machine is released by the control of impulse flanks, and the reflected light is scanned by sensors having a short response time. A medium reflection value of the surface of the measuring mark is determined. The control of impulse flanks takes place by a leading edge of the mark printed on the sheet, and the signal, released by that control, switches on the photodiodes and the light source. A changed voltage occurring at the output of each photodiode is amplified, and its peak value is stored; and the photodiodes and the light source are switched off thereafter.
