Claim:
1. A method for adjusting ink settings in a printing press having a number of ink zones in an inking unit of a printing unit, which method comprises the steps of: printing a test form onto a printing substrate with a preset color deviation from an intended target color in at least one ink zone in the inking unit of the printing unit and with at least one other ink zone in the inking unit of the printing unit without any preset color deviation from the intended target color; correcting a previously set ink setting and the preset color deviation with respect to a respective target value in a wet condition of the printing substrate by means of a color measuring device; taking color measurements of a dried printing substrate by means of the color measuring device; comparing measured color values established in a dry state with an original of a test form in a computer; and selecting an ink setting of the ink zone that has a smallest deviation from the intended target color as a target ink setting for the printing process.
