Abstract
A lithographic press includes a plate cylinder having an outer surface which includes a first outer section and a second outer section, and at least one printing plate disposed around one of the first and second outer sections in parallel to a rotational axis of the plate cylinder. The other of the first and second outer sections is uncovered and exposed to the ambient environment. The lithographic press also includes an ink supplying device which feeds ink to the at least one printing plate and the other of the first and second outer sections, and an ink removing device having a contact member which contacts the other of the first and second outer sections of the plate cylinder and removes ink therefrom. A method for removing ink from the other of the first and second outer sections includes removing the ink by way of contact between the ink removing device and the other of the first and second section of the outer surface of the plate cylinder.
