Abstract (en)

A method of printing a succesion of images on to an elongate web (10) comprises feeding the web past a rotating print cylinder (12), the relative motion of the cylinder and the web being controlled to vary the repeat distance between adjacent images. The print cylinder (12) rotates at constant speed and the movement of the web (10) is periodically interrupted, thus controlling the repeat distance.
