Abstract
An ink furnishing apparatus is capable of furnishing relative high viscosity ink in keyless ink furnishing. The apparatus operates in such a manner that an ink drawn from an ink fountain by rotation of a fountain roller and having a thickness corresponding to a first gap is supplied to the peripheral surface with compression by passing through a second gap, is provided fluidity by compression and disrupter through contact between the peripheral surfaces of an uneven surface roller and an intermediate roller and contact between the peripheral surfaces of the intermediate roller and a metering roller for supplying to the peripheral surface of the metering roller, the excess amount of ink on the peripheral surface of the metering roller is scraped off by a doctor means and returned to the ink fountain for supplying substantially uniform amount of ink at any axial position of the metering roller to a printing plate on a plate cylinder via the peripheral surface of the form roller.
