ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying images to opposite first and second sides of a continuous strip includes a back plate, and first, second, and third printing stations each being cooperatively actuatable for applying first, second, and third images to a continuous strip. The first, second, and third printing stations have a predetermined equal distance therebetween. The third printing station is positioned at a slightly higher elevation on the back plate than the second printing station and the second printing station is positioned at a slightly higher elevation on the back plate than the first printing station. The apparatus further includes first and second guide rollers, the first guide roller being positioned between the first and second printing stations adjacent the first printing station along a horizontal plane substantially parallel to the first printing station, and the second guide roller being positioned between the second and third printing stations adjacent the second printing station along a horizontal plane substantially parallel to the second printing station. A drive assembly having a rotatable drive roller longitudinally advances the strip so that it passes through the first, second, and third printing stations. Further embodiments of the apparatus are also contemplated.
