The present invention relates to a dampening roller, a method for producing the same, and dampening systems for a printing apparatus employing the dampening roller. The dampening roller (1) comprises a cylindrical support member (16) and a dampening layer (11) covered on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical support member which layer includes a substrate (14) and fine hollow spheres (12) (and hard material powder (13)) uniformly dispersed in the substrate and the fine hollow spheres existed in the surface region of the dampening layer being partially opened. The method for producing such dampening roller comprises a first step for mixing fine hollow spheres into a dampening layer, a second step for covering a support member with the dampening layer, and a third step for abrading the circumferential surface of the dampening layer to rupture a part of shell of each the spheres disposed in the surface region of the dampening layer, therby opening the hollow interior of the spheres. The dampening system for a printing apparatus employing the dampening roller can certainly and uniformly feed the dampening water to a print plate set on a plate cylinder through the dampening roller. The dampening roller is possessed of abrasion resistance against an excess water removing means, so that the dampening system can be used for a long time. |
