Ink viscosity measurement for an offset printer, whereby an ink dosing element incorporates a measurement element for determination of an ink physical characteristic from which the viscosity can be determined

摘要

Ink dosing element (16) for printing ink (14) in an offset inking device (18), whereby the dosing element, within an influencing region (12) has a physical effect on the ink. The dosing element incorporates a measurement element (10) that makes it suitable for measuring a physical value of the ink, from which its viscosity can be determined. An Independent claim is made for a method for measuring the viscosity of printing ink in an offset printing device.
