Abstract

In einem Verfahren und einer entsprechenden Vorrichtung zum Bedrucken von Behältern (10) wird jeder zu bedruckende Behälter (10) vermessen, um einen Skalierungsfaktor zu ermitteln, mit dem eine vorgegebene Druckvorlage gleichförmig skaliert wird, so dass diese in zumindest einer Richtung (z.B. in Umfangsrichtung) mit einem Druckbereich (12) auf dem Behälter (10) übereinstimmt, in den anderen Maßen (z.B. in der Höhe) aber größer ist als der Druckbereich. In einem zweiten Schritt wird die solchermaßen skalierte Druckvorlage beschnitten, so dass sie auch in den anderen Maßen mit dem vorgegebenen Druckbereich (12) übereinstimmt. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass der auf den Behältern (10) vorgegebene Druckbereich (12) nahtlos und vollständig bedruckt wird, ohne dass es zu einer Verzerrung des Druckbildes kommt.

Figure imgaf001
In a method and a corresponding device for printing on containers (10), each container (10) to be printed is measured in order to determine a scaling factor with which a predefined printing original is uniformly scaled, so that it is oriented in at least one direction (eg in the circumferential direction ) coincides with a pressure range (12) on the container (10), but in the other dimensions (eg in height) is greater than the pressure range. In a second step, the print template scaled in this way is trimmed so that it also coincides with the predetermined print area (12) in the other dimensions. In this way, it is ensured that the printing area (12) predetermined on the containers (10) is printed seamlessly and completely, without any distortion of the printed image.
