Abstract

Printing apparatus for marking small articles in which a printing head (24) having a design roll (26) and a printing roll (30), mounted for rotation about parallel axes (28,32), is movable between an operative position in which the printing roll prints indicia on the articles and a dwell position in which the printing roll is spaced from the articles. The movement of the printing head between the operative and dwell position is pivotal about the design roll rotation axis.
