Abstract

A method for controlling the inking in a printing press includes compensation of an ink requirement in an inking unit and/or compensation of a dampening solution requirement in a dampening unit of the printing press in the event of a change in the printing speed. The printing speed profile or machine state prevailing before the instant of the change in the printing speed is taken into consideration in the compensation of the metering of ink or dampening solution.
