Abstract: A flexographic machine comprising at least one inking unit that has lateral supporting means for a doctor body that forms at least partially an inking chamber and supports at least one first doctor blade and at least one second doctor blade; the inking unit further comprises elements for contrasting the inflection of the doctor body that occurs when the inking unit is in the active condition; the elements that contrast the inflection of the doctor body comprise elements adapted to apply a contrasting flexural action to the doctor body, at least when the inking unit is in the active condition; the contrasting flexural action is substantially equal and opposite to the flexural action affecting the doctor body when the inking unit is in the active condition.
