Abstract: In the application of a solvent to a plastic label carried on the surface of a vacuum drum, the solvent for the plastic label is transferred from a gravure roll to the label at finite areas on the label so that the label can adhere to the bottle to be labeled and to itself to form a complete sleeve label. The gravure roll is supplied from a fountain block with a part cylindrical face that engages the gravure roll in face to face contact. The fountain block is retained in a holder with spaced adjustment devices for adjusting the position of the fountain block in the holder.The fountain block holder is pivotally attached to each of a pair of spaced apart plates about a first axis and the pair of spaced apart plates are pivotally attached to a second pair of spaced apart plates about a second axis which is spaced from and extends parallel to the first axis.
