Abstract

An apparatus for metering printing ink includes an ink fountain roller, an ink fountain and a mounting for the ink fountain. The mounting permits an adjustment of the ink fountain relative to the ink fountain roller. The mounting has at least one elastic element for generating a holding force. The mounting is configured in such a way that a force flux which results from the holding force deflects the ink fountain roller in such a way that its longitudinal outer contour is adapted to the longitudinal outer contour of the ink fountain. A printing press having the apparatus is also provided.
