AN INKJET PRINTING MACHINE AND A CORRESPONDING PRINTING METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to an inkjet printing machine (1), in particular for printing onto three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,...), comprising a first printing object inputting means (3) for inputting three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,...) into the machine (1), a printing object transferring means (4) for transferring three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,...) from the printing object inputting means (3) to a printing object conveying means (5), the printing object conveying means (5) conveying the three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,...) during the printing in the machine (1), at least one printing head (6.1, 6.2, 6.3,...) for applying ink onto the three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,- ...), and a printing object outputting means (7) for outputting three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,...) from the machine (1), wherein the inkjet printing machine (1) further comprises at least one movable printing object supporting means (8.1, 8.2, 8.3,...) for supporting and displacing three-dimensional objects (2.1, 2.2, 2.3,...) with respect to the at least one printing head (6.1, 6.2, 6.3,...).
