Abstract
An apparatus to apply a uniform coating to a gravure cylinder for imprinting upon a second surface, typically a web, is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a feed bar, which controls the flow of the coating solution, and a supply box, which includes end dams, an overflow port, and a reservoir created by a baffle. With the overflow port and baffles a uniform coating of a composition is achieved without imperfections created by evaporation or foreign matter.
