There is disclosed a set of flexible, endless, printing bands. Each printing band has a plurality of elongated printing blocks, flexible hinges joining adjacent printing blocks at their base portions, a printing element on the surface of each printing block, and at least one tooth on the underside of each printing block. The printing blocks are extremely long compared to the gap between adjacent printing blocks at their outer portions, the hinge length is substantially greater than the hinge thickness, the thickness of the printing block is many times greater than the thickness of the hinge, and the length of the printing band at its outer portion is many times greater than the hinge length.
