A belt-shaped element for printing textiles. The belt is a sandwich structure shaped to conform around two textile printing machine cylinders, and operative to move fabric articles thereon past printing stations with minimal registration error. An exemplary belt has at least one outer elastomer layer, or 'working layer,' and an inner 'cylinder' layer that is innermost against the printing machine cylinders. An exemplary cylinder layer comprises a sheet of fibers oriented longitudinally and having a rigidity of 10.sup.6 -10.sup.7 megapascals in the longitudinal direction. Other exemplary belts comprise an intermediate layer between the outer elastomer and inner fiber sheet layers. An exemplary intermediate layer comprises a layer of transverse fibers.

Endless belt-shaped element forming in particular a press-blanket

An apparatus and method for continuously controlling an endless belt, the belt being driven at a constant rate around at least two rollers spaced apart from each other, marking the belt while it is being driven to obtain successive marks and measuring distances between the successive marks while the belt is being driven. The rate of belt movement is changed in accordance with the distances measured.
