The invention relates to equipment for printing on containers (B), such as bottles, having a printed design (D) on at least one printing machine having at least one print head (), and is characterized in that the at least one print head () is automatically adjustable by means of an electrical controller. An adjustment value from the controller moves the print head () according to spatial co-ordinates and/or an angular position into a position that is determined or calculated by means of a measuring device having e.g. sensors from the surface contour and the position relative to the print head () of the container (B) to be printed upon.
