Method of reducing air entrapment in rotary inking systems of the type wherein an inking cylinder rotates through an inking reservoir, including defining a plurality of curvate baffles transversely within said reservoir and tangentially with respect to the path of the inking cylinder, so as to squeeze entrapped air out of the ink; venting excess air from the reservoir and scraping the surface of the rotating cylinder after inking. A suggested diffusion structure includes a plurality of transverse rods positioned in the reservoir in an arcuate array tangential to the path of rotation of the inking cylinder, such that ink is "squeezed" between each rod and the rotating inking cylinder surface to force out entrapped air bubbles.

Rotary printing presses of the type embodying rotatably driven series of inking cylinder, plate cylinder and impression cylinder components. Particularly, a mechanism for "bumping" the impression cylinder shaft with respect to the plate cylinder for press adjustment or repair and web adjustment without dismantling of the press. The "bumping" mechanism includes eccentric bushing plates supporting the impression cylinder shaft at either end and a pivotally mounted bell crank with a follower strut pivotally secured to the bushing plate. As the bell crank is pivoted, the impression cylinder shaft is "bumped" or displaced with respect to the plate cylinder.

Rotary printing presses of the type embodying abutting plate cylinders and impression cylinders. Particularly, a bell crank mechanism pivotally mounted upon the press and connected to an eccentric bushing plate supporting the impression cylinder shaft, so as to apply impression or space the impression cylinder shaft with respect to the plate cylinder for web adjustment, repair, plate changes and the like without stopping the press.
