A gravure printing system is disclosed. A gravure cylinder having a first and a second plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface. A cell of the first plurality of discrete cells receives a first portion of a fluid from a first reservoir and a cell of the second plurality of discrete cells receives a second portion of the fluid from a second reservoir. The first and second portions of the fluid is fluidically displaceable into the respective first and second reservoirs through a discrete channel having a single entry point at a position external to the gravure cylinder, a first exit point into the first reservoir, and a second exit point into the second reservoir. The discrete channel provides fluid communication of the first and second portions of the fluid from the position external to the gravure cylinder to each of the respective first and second reservoirs.
A contact printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having a first and a second plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof, a cell of said first plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a first portion of a fluid from a first reservoir and a cell of said second plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a second portion of said fluid from a second reservoir, said first and second reservoirs each being disposed at a position internal to said gravure cylinder, said first and second portions of said fluid being fluidically displaceable into said respective first and second reservoirs through at least one channel having a single entry point at a position external to said gravure cylinder, a first exit point into said first reservoir, and a second exit point into said second reservoir, and wherein said at least one channel provides fluid communication of said first and second portions of said fluid from said position external to said gravure cylinder to each of said respective first and second reservoirs.
A contact printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having a first and a second plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof, a cell of said first plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a first portion of a first fluid and a second fluid from a first reservoir and a cell of said second plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a second portion of said first fluid from a second reservoir, said first and second reservoirs each being disposed at a position internal to said gravure cylinder, said first and second portions of said first fluid being fluidically displaceable into said respective first and second reservoirs through a first at least one channel having a single entry point at a position external to said gravure cylinder, a first exit point into said first reservoir, and a second exit point into said second reservoir and said second fluid is fluidically displaceable into said respective first reservoir through a second at least one channel having a single entry point at a position external to said gravure cylinder and an exit point into said first reservoir, and wherein said first at least one channel provides fluid communication of said first and second portions of said first fluid from said position external to said gravure cylinder to each of said first and second reservoirs.
A contact printing system comprising a gravure cylinder having a first and a second plurality of discrete cells disposed upon an outer surface thereof, a cell of said first plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a first portion of a first and a second fluid from a first reservoir and a cell of said second plurality of discrete cells being capable of receiving a second portion of said first and second fluids from a second reservoir, said first and second reservoirs each being disposed at a position internal to said gravure cylinder, said first and second portions of said first fluid being fluidically displaceable into said respective first and second reservoirs through at least one channel having a single entry point at a position external to said gravure cylinder, a first exit point into said first reservoir, and a second exit point into said second reservoir, said first and second portions of said second fluid being fluidically displaceable into said respective first and second reservoirs through at least one channel having a single entry point at said position external to said gravure cylinder, a first exit point into said first reservoir, and a second exit point into said second reservoir, and wherein said respective at least one channels each provide fluid communication of said respective first and second portions of said first and second fluids from said position external to said gravure cylinder to each of said respective first and second reservoirs.
