Abstract
In the ink supply construction of a stencil printer, having an ink holding space 14 defined by an outer circumferential surface of an ink supply roller 4 and an ink supply control member 8, there is provided an ink interrupting member 30 as opposed to the ink supply control member across the ink holding space for restricting a side of the ink holding space opposite to the ink supply control member, in order to stabilize and highly uniformalize the cross sectional size of a rotating lump of ink L formed in the ink holding space along the length of the lump of ink. The lump of ink may be rotationally driven by an ink driving rod member 15 provided in the ink holding space. When the lump of ink is not rotationally driven by the ink driving rod member, the ink interrupting member may be constructed to rotationally drive the lump of ink.
