Print Station
AssemblyOne color unit: the engraved gravure cylinder dips into an ink pan, a doctor blade wipes the surface clean so ink stays only in the engraved cells, and the rubber impression roller presses the web onto the cylinder to pull the ink out; an ink pump circulates ink to and from the pan. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
