Abstract (en)

The inking assembly, for a printer with a plate carrier cylinder (2) and screen cylinder (3), has an applicator in the form of two or more scraper chambers (4,5) which face one another on opposite sides of the cylinder. The screen cylinder is the same for all types of printing and only the operation of the scraper chambers is altered. One of the scraper chambers (4) has scraper blades which wipe practically the whole circumference of the screen cylinder, while the scraper blades in the other chamber leave a predetermined film of ink on the cylinder. Both sets of blades are made from metal or a plastics material with a low friction coefficient.
