ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying ink to a printing plate which utilizes a plurality of successive, interconnected/interfacing rollers to provide a desired film thickness of ink to the printing plate such that a desired design may be transferred to a container body. In one embodiment, two transfer rollers directly engage the cylinder upon which the printing plate is positioned. The orientation of these rollers may be adjusted in a manner to enhance the distribution of ink to the printing plate. Advantageously, this adjustment does not require the positioning of any components within the roller body area (e.g., an area through which ink propelled away from the rollers would travel). In order to further enhance the distribution of ink, at least one of the rollers of the inker oscillates to alternately engage two adjacently positioned rollers. This oscillation is also provided without requiring components within the defined roller body area.
