Yes, unless it infringes someone else's trademark rights.

Maybe, maybe not. The fact that what you print is a "variance" on your business name means nothing. Your business name might already be an infringement. The real question you need to ask is whether what is printed infringes someone else's trademark (or possibly copyright).
