An assembly of at least one object and a machine for printing the object, the object having an outer surface substantially of revolution around an axis, and a handle. The machine includes four ink jet printheads, at least one object holder and a support on which the object holder is fastened. An actuator moves the support relative to the printheads in at least four print configurations, and the object holder drives rotation of the object around the axis in each printing configuration. A commander commands the object holder to rotate the object relative to the corresponding printhead around the axis from an initial printing position, in which the handle is located near the printhead on one side of the median plane of the printhead, to a final printing position, in which the handle is situated near the printhead on the other side of the median plane. |

1. An assembly of at least one object and a machine for printing the object, the object having an outer surface substantially of revolution around an axis, and a handle protruding radially from the outer surface, the machine comprising:
at least four ink jet printheads, each printhead defining a median plane, at least one object holder designed to hold the object and a support, the object holder being fastened on the support, an actuator for moving the support relative to the printheads in at least four print configurations, the object in the at least four print configurations being respectively across from one of the printheads, the object holder being adapted to drive rotation of the object around the axis in each of the at least four printing configurations, and a commander for commanding the actuator, the object holder and the at least four printheads, the commander capable, in each of the at least four printing configurations, to command the object holder to rotate the object relative to the corresponding printhead around the axis from an initial printing position, in which the handle is located near the corresponding printhead on one side of the median plane of the corresponding printhead, to a final printing position, in which the handle is situated near the corresponding printhead on the other side of the median plane, the handle being moved relative to the corresponding printhead following a circular trajectory, others of the at least four printheads being positioned away from the circular trajectory of the handle. |
