Abstract
An apparatus for the intermittent printing of material has at least one printing cylinder and an endless band for supporting the material to be printed. A portion of the band which is in printing engagement with the printing cylinder is supported on one side by supporting members and each supporting member is positioned opposite a printing cylinder. Each supporting member is movable transversely away from its respective printing cylinder. The pressure on the side of the band supported by the supporting member is less than the atmospheric pressure on the other side of the band so that when the supporting member is moved away from the printing cylinder the endless band will remain in contact with the supporting member and thus be spaced away from the printing cylinder.
