Abstract
An enclosed Flush/Rinse and inking system for inking and flushing printing presses is arranged to ink an anilox roller of a printing press, wherein the ink is dispersed from a centralized ink tank. Once inking is complete, the ink is returned to the ink tank, and used flushing solution is circulated within the printing circuit to clean the press. A final rinse of clean solution is provided to ensure the press is properly cleaned.
