Method and device for ink-jet printing on curved container surfaces

摘要

The method involves moving a print surface relative to rows of nozzle (4) which are aligned transversely or diagonally to movement direction (5). Ink drops (9) are discharged to ejection points for the individual ink droplets as a function of the respective printing gap (6) of the ejecting nozzle (4a) to be set. The nozzles are provided lying one behind the other in the movement direction, and also the ejection timing can be set between the rows of nozzles as a function of a distance (X). An independent claim is included for a device for ink jet printing on curved surfaces of containers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles or glass bottles.
