Claim:
A method for the processing of print products, comprising: conveying individually the print products with a feeding device along a feeding section, wherein the feeding device comprises a feed conveyor including a number of grippers each configured to hold an individual print product; transferring individually the print products from the feeding section to a further processing device along a further processing section; storing the print products transferred from the feeding device to the further processing device in a storage device configured to accommodate a number of print products; generating control signals from a control unit, the control signals corresponding to further treatment of each individual print product and to the transfer of precisely one print product to the further processing device, wherein the control signals comprise: a first control signal which determines whether an individual print product is transferred to the further processing device; and a second control signal which determines timing of the transfer; releasing the individual print product from a respective one of the grippers based on the first control signal; supplying additional print products to the further processing device as a function of at least one of locations determined based on the second control signal or times determined based on the second control signal; and generating a continuous product flow along the further processing section as a result of the supplying of the additional print products.
