More specifically, after step S3, the method further includes:

s4: after the cleaning is finished, the roller 1 and the transducer 3 are stopped, the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank is firstly discharged through the liquid outlet 22, and then the ink is injected into the liquid storage tank through the liquid inlet 21. After the roller 1 is cleaned, the roller 1 is stopped, the ink pump is used for injecting the ink into the liquid inlet 21, and the residual cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank is discharged from the liquid outlet 22, so that the liquid storage tank is filled with the ink. And (3) rotating the roller 1 again, dipping the ink in the liquid storage tank by the roller 1, and when the ink is uniformly discharged from the roller 1, carrying out printing work by the roller 1.
