Prusament Remaining Filament Markings on Roll...

Did everyone else already know that Prusament filament rolls have remaining filament markings on them??

I finished a roll today and when taking it apart noticed that on the inside of the rolls are markings for 256M, 163M, & 81M, which I presume is remaining filament. It is on both inside sides of the roll and kind of hard to see if you did not know it was there.  I did not recall seeing that on older rolls.

I had not noticed that before and did not know if that was common knowledge or not.  Figured I would share.  Cool beans.

Thanks for enlightening me.

Unknown, but if i had to guess, maybe it is on the inside for when they are winding the spools or something...  Clearly it is the remaining meters of filament, because everything but ASA comes with about 350M when full and these appear to be decreasing marks of approximately 91 - 92 meters. 

I just did not recall seeing it mentioned officially or discussed anywhere and just noticed it yesterday on a finished spool.  Just checked an older finished spool of silver Prusament PLA that did not have it but newer spools of Galaxy Black PLA and Jet Black PETG do have it, so it must be something new that has been incorporated.

RE:

It may be a recent addition because I just checked an older finished spool of silver Prusament PLA and found that it did not include it, while newer spools of Galaxy Black PLA and Jet Black PETG had.
