Abstract
An inking system for a rotary printing press utilizes a chain seal to prevent ink from passing from the ink receiving chamber of an ink reservoir beyond the length of the portion of a cylinder to be inked. A chain seal, that is comprised of a plurality of individual plates and pins, intimately engages the surface of the cylinder and keeps the ink in the ink receiving chamber.
