Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for printing on bottles or the like.
  • Such a method and such a device are made DE 20 2006 000 270 U1 known as discussed below.

  • the active print width of this printhead which is also known under the name "Tonejet”, is only dependent on the capacity of the bill of a printhead driving computer. For example, print heads with a print width of 1.7 - 6.8 inches (corresponding to a 256-bit control or a 1024-bit control) are possible. With this printhead, the printing of a twelve-dimensional imprint with a sufficiently large area by relative movement between the surface to be printed and the printhead is possible only in a single axial direction.
  • This document provides a method for applying at least one imprint on container surfaces of bottles or similar containers.
  • the use of at least one printing station with at least one electrically controllable printing unit is provided, wherein the printing original is stored in digital form in a control unit.

It is not necessary to align or turn the container, which is preferably upright during printing, about its container axis. There are therefore no complicated control drives required. Rather, the alignment of the imprint in relation to the rest of the equipment of the respective container is purely electronic or software.
  • the printing unit is designed so that it generates the respective printed image aligned on the container surface depending on the control by an electronic control device or a pressure electronics (computer), namely according to an electronic or one of a record formed by software and, for example, in a memory the printed electronics stored print mask.
