Abstract
An inking unit of a printing unit and a device for printing on hollow bodies each have a cylindrical lateral surface. The device comprises the inking unit. The inking unit has an anilox roller which receives a printing ink from an ink reservoir and has an inking roller placed against a printing cylinder of the printing unit. A rider roller is arranged axially parallel to the anilox roller in a region between the ink reservoir and the inking roller, that region being located subsequent to the ink reservoir in a direction of rotation of the anilox roller. The ink reservoir interacts with the anilox roller. The rider roller is placed against the anilox roller. The rider roller is rotationally driven by the anilox roller by friction. The inking roller is rotationally driven by the anilox roller by friction. The plate cylinder and the anilox roller are each independently rotationally driven by a motor.

- 12. A device for printing on hollow bodies, wherein this device has an inking unit (06) of a printing unit, wherein the inking unit (06) has an anilox roller (08) that receives ink from an ink reservoir, and an ink forme roller (07) that is thrown onto a printing forme cylinder (04) of the printing unit, characterized in that in an area downstream of the ink reservoir that cooperates with the anilox roller (08), in the direction of rotation of said anilox roller (08), between the ink reservoir and the ink forme roller (07), a rider roller (13) is arranged axially parallel to the anilox roller (08), wherein the rider roller (13) is thrown onto the anilox roller (08), wherein the rider roller (13) has a rubberized lateral surface, wherein the rider roller (13) is rotationally driven by the anilox roller (08) by means of friction, wherein the ink forme roller (07) is rotationally driven by the anilox roller (08) by means of friction, and wherein the printing forme cylinder (04) and the anilox roller (08) are each rotationally driven independently by a motor (11;
