Abstract

An ink dividing assembly for an inking roller in an ink fountain of a rotary printing press is disclosed. One or more inking bars are positioned adjacent the ink roller and carry doctor blades. Thin ink dividing plates are slideably carried in guide depressions formed by guide plates attached to the ends of the inking bars. A front surface of each ink divider plate is curved and sealingly engages the peripheral surface of the inking roller. The ink dividing plates may be spring biased in the guide depressions into contact with the ink roller.
