Abstract
A metering strip for an ink fountain of a printing press for metering printing ink, especially a doctor blade, is fastened in a pivoting mount and has a cylindrically shaped edge with a radius in the range between 0.3 and 1.5 mm. The edge is pressed against an inking roller and forms a metering nip with this roller for the printing ink to be metered. Axial recesses merge on both sides of the metering strip with the cylindrically shaped, wear-resistant edge that covers an angular range of more than 180.degree..
