Deflection, when occurring on inking rollers, can result in inconsistent ink transfer to the plate, blanket, and/or substrate across the press. Deflection also refers to a cylinder or roller's pressure-induced ["out-of-roundness"]. Deflection is also known as ["flex"].<br> + <br> + In a ["cathode-ray tube"], a technique added (by means of a device called a deflection unit) that increases the angle at which the electrons beams are spread on the back of the screen. Increased angle of deflection increases the flatness of the monitor.</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
