Abstract
A guide for leveling the flow of a coating from a nozzle onto a generally cylindrical substrate of a polymeric printing component in a printing machine is provided. The substrate is rotated about its longitudinal axis by a turning apparatus having a axially movable slide for mounting the nozzle to the slide. The coating is spirally applied to the substrate. The guide includes a member operably associated with the slide and moves with the slide. The member has a surface parallel to and slightly spaced from the periphery of the substrate so as to assist in evenly distributing the coating on the periphery of the substrate.
