Abstract
There is described an ink wiping system (″) of an intaglio printing press comprising a wiping tank () and a rotatable wiping roller assembly (*) supported on and partly located in the wiping tank () for wiping excess ink from the surface of a rotatable intaglio printing cylinder () of the intaglio printing press. The ink wiping system (″) comprises a wiping roller retracting device () which forms an integral part of the ink wiping system (″) and is adapted to be coupled to the wiping roller assembly (*) to move the wiping roller assembly (*) between a working position (W) where the wiping roller assembly (*) is supported on and partly located in the wiping tank () for cooperation with the intaglio printing cylinder () and a parking position (P) where the wiping roller assembly (*) is retracted out of the wiping tank () and away from the intaglio printing cylinder (). In the working position (W) of the wiping roller assembly (*), the wiping roller retracting device () is coupled to the wiping roller assembly (*). The ink wiping system (″) further includes, at the parking position (P), a storage section () adapted to receive the wiping roller assembly (*) which is retracted by the wiping roller retracting device ().
