Hi all.  I am still working on the problem of printing words on rolls
-- it's easier said than done!  My first thought was trying to trick
my old dot-matrix printer to do the job.  I doubt that will work.

My problem with the printer is that, first, the advance on the
printer is wrong.  The second problem is my computer always sees
the page breaks.  I even made a small belt with letters out of adding
machine paper, scanned the whole thing, and tried to print it.  The
computer would always print the image in a smaller scale, in addition
to the above problems.

So what I ended up with is a long combine belt suspended between two
pulleys, a ink roller and some -- are you ready for this?  --  wooden
kitchen rolling pins!  The whole contraption shows promise.

Now comes the problem of getting letters on the belt.  I have this
almost worked out also.  I had a small plastic label maker that
impresses letters on a self adhesive tape.  this works well, but ...
the letters are a mirror image (backwards) !

Getting very close, and welcome any idea, please!
