Abstract (en)
An improved printer (10) is disclosed which has upright and inverted printers (25,30) for printing either or both faces of a flat web. A stepper motor driven nip (40,42) is provided to feed the web along a path of travel past the two imprinters. The web is driven at a relatively high feed speed until sections of the web to be imprinted are registered with the imprinters, whereupon the feed speed is reduced to a slower imprinting speed. Upon completion of the imprinting, web feed is returned to the higher rate providing a downstream dancer (35) is in condition to accept the web at the higher rate. If the amount of web accumulated in the downstream dancer exceeds a predetermined level, the motor (44) is stopped until the dancer is in condition to receive the web at the higher feed speed rate. <IMAGE>
