According to the invention, in a method for printing an object conveyed by a gripper in a printing device, wherein the object, which is held by the gripper, travels along a substantially linear motion path, in which the gripper is connected to main conveyor means of the rotary printing device, a contact member of the gripper is brought into contact with an alignment member of a component defining a reference position over an engagement interval, in such a manner that the gripper is synchronized with the tangential position and speed of the component defining the reference position at the location of the object to be printed. A method of this kind is advantageously implemented at the location of a printing head and/or at the location of a feed unit. The invention also provides printing devices with features allowing a synchronization of this kind to be carried out. |
