ABSTRACT:
A system for applying and then removing ink in a metering fashion from a roll. A wire wound rod is rotated in a direction opposite of an ink applicator roll with the rod and roll in contact together. Ink is applied uniformly across the outer surface of the applicator roll with a portion of the ink then being removed from the applicator roll by the wire wound rod. The ink remaining on the applicator roll is then transferred to a printing plate provided on a roll rotatably mounted adjacent to the applicator roll. Spring biased washer seals mounted to the metering rod engage the opposite ends of the applicator roll and the metering rod mounting block limiting ink flow therefrom. Ink drainage channels in the metering rod mounting block drain the ink therefrom into a receptacle connected by conduits to a reservoir and pump operable to direct ink back onto the roll. An inflatable pressurized container is operable to move the metering rod to and from the applicator roll.
