A printing apparatus for printing a heat shrinkable flattened plastics tubing or other elongate printable medium, the apparatus comprising: means for feeding at least one printable medium over a printer head; and a control means to control the sequence of printing operations on the medium, wherein the apparatus further comprises a return feed assembly to return the printable medium printed on a first face thereof inverted into the printing apparatus and off-set, e.g. spaced toward one side of the printing apparatus, relative to where it was first fed passed the print head for printing onto the obverse face of the medium, the apparatus being programmed to be set up initially with the medium installed for feeding/printing the first side whereby printing of the first side of the label/printable medium may be initiated and the printable medium stopped at a required set point along the medium for reverse feeding, allowing the medium to then be fed back through the printer for the printing of the second side before the printing resumes. |
