Abstract:
1. A method for starting up a web-fed printing press while minimizing a time required for start-up and a number of wasted copies generated during the start-up, comprising the steps of: executing a first start-up sequence while using predetermined preset parameters that are specific to the printing press and/or a print job for a color register adjustment, a cut-off compensator control, and an ink density control; subsequently stopping the web-fed printing press; evaluating copies printed during the first start-up sequence with respect to a color register, a cut-off compensator, and an ink density; adjusting the predetermined preset parameters for the color register adjustment, and/or the cut-off compensator control, and/or the ink density control as a function of the evaluating step while the printing press is stopped; subsequently starting a second start-up sequence using the predetermined preset parameters for the cut-off compensator control; and using the predetermined parameters for the ink density control once a defined printing press speed is reached and/or exceeded after starting the second start-up sequence.
