Abstract
The chambered doctor blade unit has an anilox roller against which a doctor blade can be engaged. An ink trough, and an arrangement to transport ink from the ink trough to a chambered doctor blade unit or an ink application roller is provided, the chambered doctor blade unit or the ink application roller being, respectively, operatively coupled with the anilox roller. The ink supply trough, the ink application device, the doctor blade and the ink trough form a single structural unit which is located on a carrier structure on the printing machine, to be removable as a unit. A plurality of units are severably coupled to a common ink pump shaft on the printing machine. The printing machine carrier structure may be pivotable so that the entire unit can be pivoted away from an ink application roller of the printing machine, or away from the anilox roller; or, alternatively, the anilox roller and the support structure therefor may also form part of the single structural unit so that the entire inker can be removed as a unit, for example for exchange with inkers having different colors or different inks, and requiring anilox rollers of different surface configuration.
