Printing roller for a printer comprising a coated transport portion

Abstract

The invention relates to a printing roller (1; T) for a printer (2) for printing marking profiles (3; 3′), said printing roller comprising: a shaft (10); at least one support portion (11A, 11B) mounted on the shaft (10); and a transport portion (12; 12′), that is adjacent to the at least one support portion (11A, 11B) and is connected to the shaft (10) for conjoint rotation therewith, for advancing the marking profiles (3; 3′) by rotating the shaft (10), wherein the transport portion (12; 12′) is set back radially relative to the at least one support portion (11A, 11B) with respect to an axis of rotation (D) defined by the shaft (10) so as to form a receptacle (A; A′) for the marking profile. According to the invention, the transport portion (12; 12′) is formed by a main body (120; 120′) to which a friction-enhancing coating (121; 12T) is applied.
