Abstract
An ink cooling system for printing presses is disclosed. The ink cooling system is arranged to cool ink at locations within a printing press at the locations in which the ink properties are most likely to be adversely impacted, and which locations are or may be physically remote from the centralized ink supply or ink tanks. The disclosed system thus counteracts localized heating that commonly occurs in printing presses, thus minimizing or eliminating printing problems caused by heated ink.
