Abstract
To eliminate the necessity of a hose connection between a chambered doctor blade unit (1) and an ink supply unit (14), the ink supply unit and the chambered doctor blade unit are, each, formed with an ink supply duct and an ink reception duct, respectively, which, when the chambered doctor blade unit is in operative position engaged against an ink roller (3), fits against the ink supply duct; upon rotation or sliding-away of the chambered doctor blade unit (1), the fluid communication between said ducts is released, thereby permitting ready removal of the chambered doctor blade unit, for example for cleaning or servicing.
