A flexographic unit printing assembly and method of printing a web of paper using the assembly eliminates the need for one or more flexographic units without eliminating the capability to effectively print certain jobs. At least one of the flexographic print units is provided with a print plate having distinctly different first and second portions, and a computer control has two nodes connected to the first flexographic print unit, one for sending a command telling the unit to print substantially the entire length of the print plate, and the other sending a command to the first flexographic print unit telling it to print the web only with the first print portion, and then to operatively (e.g. mechanically) disengage the print plate from the web.
