Container treatment system for treating containers, such as bottles, with at least one direct printing machine for applying a print image onto containers and at least one container treatment machine arranged upstream of the direct printing machine and a system control device, where the system control device is configured to control the operation of the container treatment machine in dependence of a change of the container throughput that can be obtained with the direct printing machine.

Container treatment system for treating containers

An ink-jet printer with a print assembly includes an ink jet print head, the print assembly configured to be movable between a first position in which print head is positioned over a substrate to be printed upon and a second position in which the print head is positioned away from the substrate. The print head purges ink at the second position. A wiper assembly is positioned between the first position and the second position of the print assembly. The wiper assembly has a first orientation in which the wiper assembly does not contact the print head when the print assembly moves between the first position and the second position. The wiper assembly has a second orientation in which the wiper assembly contacts the print head when the print assembly moves between the second position and the first position. A fluid distribution device provides fluid to clean the wiper assembly.
