Words on Rolls
By Bruce Clark

Page Maker ( a computer program)  has the ability to float words to any
place on the paper.  I tried it, and placed a piece of paper and moved
words about any place on the paper, and in any font including Stencil
which is used by the old roll makers. It worked fine.

The only problem I see, is getting the proper ink to print on dry waxed
paper which is used today, and to program the computer to keep the paper
going through the printer the length of the roll, instead of individual
sheets.

I feel that this can be done, but I am not a computer person.
I hope someone can work on this.
