Mesh roller for printing press and method of fabrication

摘要

In a mesh roller for a lithographic printing press a nitride layer is formed into all of an external surface of the mesh roller including recesses (cells) for metering amount of ink, so that the volume of the recesses is not reduced before subsequent plating. Thereafter, in case that copper is plated on the nitride surface of the recesses, reduction of the volume of the recess in minimized.
