ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A cylindrical roller body having a surface texture incorporating a random pattern of cracks and lands in a select configuration for producing a nonhomogeneous and noncontinuous roller surface having improved fluid transfer characteristics. The roller is mounted for rotation contiguous with a fluid supply and deposit area for transferring fluid therebetween. The body of the roller is of structurally sound construction, often solid, being plated with a hard, durable material such as chrome. The chrome is subjected to a specific plating, etching, and polishing process for producing an array of interconnected, shallow cracks and smooth, segrated lands thereupon. The cracked cylindrical surface of the roller then presents a plurality of smooth, unconnected lands to fluids dispersed thereon. Similarly, the interconnected crack pattern permits lateral flow of fluid between lands to reduce the surface tension and improve fluid transfer characteristics. In this manner, the roller may be used in any number of applications in conjunction with fluid supply means and deposit area. Like- wise, the roller can be used to transfer any fluid with more control, volumetric capacity and less surface tension dependency than conventional rollers of either greater smoothness or greater roughness.
