Abstract (en)

An ink transfer apparatus (102) for transferring ink to an ink application roller (110) of a sheet printing or sheet coating apparatus is disclosed. The ink transfer apparatus comprises a series of ink transfer rollers (104, 106, 108, 110) for transferring ink to the liquid application roller, and a motor (112) for causing reciprocating motion of the ink transfer rollers in a direction substantially parallel to their axes of rotation. A controller receives an input signal dependent on a rotational position of the liquid application roller and controls operation of the motor in dependence on the input signal.
