Abstract

A device for scraping the ink film including lint and debris from an ink fountain roller consisting of a relatively thin, relatively narrow, flexible blade positioned in contact with the surface of the ink fountain roller, the blade being reciprocated along the length of the roller so as to remove ink, lint and debris from the surface of the roller to thereby prevent clogging of the ink metering nip.
