Abstract

Direktdruckverfahren zum Bedrucken von Behältern wie Flaschen (130) mit Hilfe einer Direktdruckmaschine (100), wobei, in einem ersten Schritt, der Behälter wenigstens in einem ersten bestimmten Bereich mit einer Druckschicht in einer ersten Vorrichtung (101) bedruckt wird und, in einem zweiten Schritt, in einer zweiten Vorrichtung (102), eine Deckschicht auf den Behälter aufgebracht wird, wobei die Deckschicht auf einen zweiten bestimmten Bereich aufgebracht wird, der den ersten bestimmten Bereich umfasst und dessen Fläche größer als die des ersten bestimmten Bereichs ist, wobei die Deckschicht eine erste Verbindung mit der Druckfarbe in dem ersten bestimmten Bereich eingeht, wobei die Deckschicht eine zweite Verbindung mit dem Behälter in von dem ersten bestimmten Bereich verschiedenen Teilen des zweiten bestimmten Bereichs eingeht, wobei die erste und zweite Verbindung unlöslich in wässrigen Lösungen mit einem pH-Wert zwischen 3 und 10 und gut löslich in wässrigen Lösungen mit einem pH-Wert in einem Bereich kleiner als 3 und/oder größer als 10 sind.
