The machine has a circular printing table (11) that has, at regular intervals round its periphery, recesses (12) to accept the objects (13) to be printed. The table rotates in steps corresponding to the spacing of the recesses. Delivery stations (14) are placed over the edge of the table so that they can drop the blank discs into the recesses. The delivery stations themselves have a rotating disc with recesses which are filled by an arm mechanism that removes discs from stacks for transfer to the recesses of the delivery disc. Each disc is then carried by the rotation of the table past multiple printing stations (16), each applying a different colour or image. The completed discs are removed by another station (15) at the edge of the table.
