Abstract: A belt-type printing machine, primarily for printing large numbers of different bingo tickets, includes a pair of endless belts one of which is slightly longer than the other. The belts each carry a series of identically-sized printing plates there being more plates on the longer belt. The plates on one belt are used to print a first sub-area of each ticket, while the plates on the other belt are used to print the remaining sub-area of each ticket, the different lengths of the belts, which are rotated at the same speed, resulting in the printing of tickets with different combinations of sub-areas from the plates.
