Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling the ink feed in a printing press which processes printing substrates ( ) and features at least one inking unit and one computer and to a device for carrying out the method. The present invention is characterized in that the computer knows at least the physical properties of printing ink and/or printing substrates ( ) as data, that the stored data is read into an ink control model which is stored in the computer, and that the optimum settings with regard to the ink feed are made on the basis of this ink control model before the start of printing or during the printing process.
