In the preceding technology the paper coil was rewound only once while being cut. Printing can be done in any colour of multicoloured.

The advertisement 4 is repeated in regular distances and is printed on the whole roll 1.

The advertisement can be printed on the paper tape 2 of the paper roll 1 in irregular distances. This advertisement 4 and/or publicity can be used for example for contest purposes.

The advertisement 4 can be also made on a narrow strip along the tape 2 of the paper roll 1 but always outside the place intended for the expected price data.

Printing can be used in well know kinds of tapes 2 in cash register as selftranscribing tapes 2 or solo tapes 2 and other generally used paper tapes 2, for example thermotapes and other kinds of tapes 2.
