Abstract
A printing unit for providing ink imprints includes a printing member and an inking assembly supplying ink to the printing member. The inking assembly comprises an ink reservoir; an endless flexible ink carrying element; a support for positioning the element such that a first part of the element extends into the ink reservoir and a second part of the element is situated externally of the ink reservoir; a drive for circulating the element, whereby the element carries ink out of the reservoir; and an element-contacting roller having a cylindrical surface positioned to be in contact with the second part of the element for receiving ink therefrom.
