Abstract
The method herein of printing items such as labels comprises preparing a printing plate to provide it with a series of printing areas between end margins required for securing the plate to a groove in a printing cylinder. The said printing areas are either all closely spaced or abutting with at least one pair of the printing areas spaced by an increment which is, or each of which is, equal to an increment formed on the web during printing at the place where the end margins are secured to the printing cylinder, the remaining printing areas being all closely spaced or abutting. The plate is secured to the printing cylinder by the end margins, and the items are printed on the web in the form of repeated series thereof with equal increments between pairs of items and with the remaining items closely spaced or abutting. The printed web is wound into roll form.
