Non-misting inking roll, method of making same, and ink for use therewith

摘要

A substantially non-misting inking roll having a plurality of interconnecting microporous cavities which have disposed therein an ink formulation containing a plastisol resin as a thickening substance. The roll is formed by shaping an elastomeric material containing a leachable hydrated soluble salt therein into a sleeve about a cylindrical support, curing the elastomer, leaching out the salt to form the interconnecting micropores and disposing in the micropores an ink formulation containing a plastisol resin as a thickening substance in the micropores of the sleeve.
