Abstract

A printing machine includes a print head that prints on an article that rotates during printing. A printing width of the print head extends over a section of a length of the article and longitudinally in relation to a longitudinal axis of the article. An orthogonal coordinate system has an origin at a center of mass of the print head, with longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes. A plurality of the print heads print on the article and are arranged in a row longitudinally in relation to the axis of rotation of the article. The ink ejected by the printing nozzles of the print heads is situated in the same printing plane. The direction of the ink ejected is oriented perpendicularly to the surface of the article. Multiple different printing planes are provided with respect to the surface of the article. Directly adjacent printing planes create a V-shaped formation.
