The strap may include indicia such as printed indicia, such as, for example, advertisements.

Printed indicia are included to indicate the manner in which the first blister of the sequence can be opened.

Various methods and apparatus relating to the control of printing by a print head (30) based upon a captured image of an array of marks (202) are disclosed.

The funnel is a funnel blank provided with optional perforations (90,92,94) and for printed indicia which enables an end user to vary the size of the funnel nozzle.

By way of a register controller (11), the register plate (15) is pivoted away, a gripper bar (8) is guided up to it, the register plate is pivoted up again, then a sheet (5) is fed in and stopped at the front stops (12).

In this manner, printed, woven or embroidered fiducial marks as well as edges or other high-contrast contours can be visually scanned.

A position monitoring system maintains spatial synchronization of the anomaly data by computing an updated position for the anomalies relative to the set of fiducial marks printed on the slit rolls.

The imprinted plastic or metal marker travel through a fusing unit with infra-red radiators and are exposed to a defined temperature for a few seconds.

To check the register between 2 sides (front / back) you must have one or more dots printed on both sides and view the printed sheet transparently.
