Abstract

The invention relates to a rotary printing press, particularly offset printing press, the printing unit of which comprises a printing form, a damping unit as well as an inking unit, said inking unit being provided with a set ink profile. In order to obtain a fast change of ink profile, it is proposed that, in order to eliminate the previous ink profile and to prepare the buildup of a new ink profile, the printing form 32 is inked over its entire surface area with the inking unit 1.
