ABSTRACT:
A printing press cylinder and a method of manufacturing the same. The printing press cylinder includes a rigid base member having a reduced radius section and a polymer layer formed about the rigid base member generally within the reduced radius section. The polymer layer is operable to absorb forces and dissipate energy that degrades print quality. A gear portion is operably coupled to the rigid base member for rotation therewith. The printing press cylinder is manufactured by turning a rigid base member to produce a reduced radius section and subsequently molding a polymer layer generally within the reduced radius section of the rigid base member. The polymer layer is cured and then turned to reduce the circumference thereof and produce a smooth surface.
