• a disadvantage of this anilox roller is that a jacket surface made of steel, especially in a wet offset printing process, causes a disturbance in the color transport after a short period of operation, since such a jacket surface tends to run quickly free of color.

It is noteworthy that in the inking unit between the ink fountain roller and the Farbstromtrennwalze there is a very large difference in the respective peripheral speeds, so that the lateral surface of the arranged between the ink fountain roller and the Farbstromtrennwalze film roller is exposed to high mechanical and possibly thermal stress.
• Forming the circumferential surface of a film roll having a stochastic structure is advantageous because a film roll having a shell surface having a stochastic structure has a very favorable ink conveying performance, which contributes to the production of a printed product having a high printing quality.

Short washing times are counteracted by the demand, in particular for newspaper customers, for short set-up times, because the washing times are part of the set-up times.
• Conventional newspaper printing machines have so far usually only two inking rollers. Three inking rollers, however, better even out the application of paint than just two inking rollers. Also, they better even out a stencil forming on the inking rollers in their respective color film, so that an inking unit having three or more inking rollers is less prone to stenciling.
