Abstract
A method for aligning printing heads () of a printing device is provided, the printing heads () being two-dimensional printing heads () comprising a plurality of nozzles (). In one method step, an ink drop is dispensed at a plurality of nozzles () of every printing head () simultaneously to print an image, preferably at all nozzles () of every printing head (). In another step, the printed image is captured by a camera () whose resolution may be smaller than the print resolution. The position and/or orientation of each of the printing heads () is determined based on the image captured by the camera () and the deviation of the position and/or orientation of each printing head () from a target position and/or orientation is determined. The position and/or the orientation of the printing heads () is adjusted based on the determined deviation. Moreover, a printing device () is provided.
