inking transfer cylinder 84 a selected raised character may be thereby placed into circumferential alignment with one of the raised pads 86 the printing cylinders 70 and 72 have three sets of numbers spaced about their circumference in the staggered pattern as described above the ratio of the rotational speeds of the printing cylinders 70 and 72 with respect to the inking transfer cylinder 84 is that the printing cylinders will make three complete revolutions for each two complete revolutions of the inking transfer cylinder 84 in this way the printing cylinders 70 and 72 may be adjusted as described above so that a parituclar raised character will always fall in alignment with one of the raised pads 86 on the inking transfer cylinder 84 so that only that raised character is inked it is this inked character which will then be printed upon the fabric web 62 as it passes between the impression cylinder 68 and the printing cylinders 70 and 72 the pads 86 as mentioned above also contact the ink roller 88 with each complete revolution thereby acquiring sufficient ink to be transferred to the raised characters 82 the amount of ink which is transferred is carefully controlled so that smearing is avoided to allow the web 62 to be initially threaded between the printing cylinders 70 and 72 and the impression cylinder 68 the impression cylinder is rotatably mounted between a pair of swing arms 69 which are pivoted at their lower ends to the side plates 12 and 14 this allows the impression cylinder 68 to be moved between.
