Continuous motion apparatus for decorating cylindrical articles includes a plurality of removable and replaceable inker subassemblies each of which includes an inker section and a transmission section through which the inker section is mechanically connected to the main drive for the apparatus. Each inker subassembly applies a controlled film of ink to an individual associated printing cylinder that remains mounted to the main frame of the apparatus when its associated inker subassembly is dismounted from the main frame. The transmission section is a sealed unit that utilizes a liquid lubricant. Mounting stability is obtained by utilizing four mounting points where each inker unit engages the main frame. A readily releasable securing clamp is provided at each mounting point, and a sliding collar constitutes a readily disengageable coupling through which the input of the transmission section is driven by the main drive.

A metering roll system for supplying ink to a printing plate, comprises a plurality of rotatable intermediate rolls for supplying ink to the printing plate; a rotatable metering roll for supplying ink to the plurality of intermediate rolls; a rotatable fountain roll for supplying ink to the metering roll; and two bearing rings for providing a constant gap between the fountain roll and the metering roll, the two bearing rings having a diameter greater than that of the metering roll and rotatably mounted at opposite ends of the metering roll and in rolling contact with opposite cylindrical ends of the fountain roll, whereby the gap between the fountain roll and metering roll is maintained constant along the entire length of the metering roll, regardless of eccentricities in rotation of the fountain roll and metering roll.
