Abstract

A method of operating a press that has a damping unit which contains a damping unit roller is performed during a printing interruption. During the printing interruption, the damping unit roller is supplied discontinuously with damping solution replenishment and, as a result, the damping unit roller is kept ready for a printing operation.
