It must be pressed against the container with a certain pressure in order to transfer the printed image.

In the known method, in order to change the printed image, it is necessary to replace the rollers and possibly the respective inking unit. With known methods, it is usually not possible to print continuous tones within the framework of the printed image to be recorded.

That is, program-controlled recording of individual pixel points along the parallel perimeter of the wall R: j. A printed image is formed as a raster image by an inkjet method using inkjet printers 1 to 1 containing inkjet or pigment.

が取り扱われているわ（→ではない。The inkjet method itself is known for recording characters on various materials, for example on pharmaceutical moldings (DE 28 49 495).
It is also used to print code bars on packaging containers for optical scanning, but it also deals with printing over flat surfaces to form decorative printed images such as those required for the decoration of containers. I'm here (not →)

り連続階調を形成することもできる。In this case, the inkjet method allows the formation of complex printed images using the laws of color mixing, as well as the non-contact recording of individual dots on uneven surfaces.
Thus, for example, in the case of packaging cans, the areas of reinforcement of these cans can be included in the decorative image. By suitably recording individual pixel points along a continuous circumferential line closely spaced on the wall of the container, a raster image is formed which, when the pixel points are successively arranged in sequence, forms a raster image. , the changes to the 6 patterns that visually appear in a planar image and no longer appear in a raster image are made by appropriate changes to the program to record individual dots without changing the ink or printing plate. The program control is performed electronically,
Continuous gradation can also be formed by appropriately selecting rasters and partially overlapping pixel points.

容器の壁における平行な周囲線に沿って個々の画点を記
録することにより、容器とインキまたはラッカジェット
発生装置ηとの間の簡単に制御可能な相対運動中に印刷
像を形成することができる。By recording individual pixel points along parallel circumferential lines in the wall of the container, it is possible to form a printed image during an easily controllable relative movement between the container and the ink or lacquer jet generator η. can.

ん状ｔｉまたは線区間に沿って記録すると有利である。In this way, for example, the container can be moved in rotation, while the device for generating ink or ink can be kept stationary. It is advantageous to record the interstitial pixels along parallel spiral ti or line sections.

くなるようにすると有利である。The interstitial dots may be recorded directly next to each other and/or partially overlapping each other5, where the superimposed recording is especially taken into account for continuous tone formation, if the spiral of the container is Instead of a circular rotational movement, the container can be rotated around the longitudinal axis, and the injection nozzle can be moved stepwise in the long direction of the container, so that the image point can be moved in the 1.2-handed direction and around the container. In order to form a decorative image that looks visually superimposed, the container is rotated around its longitudinal axis, and the injection nozzle is moved linearly with respect to the long axis of the container. The spiral line to be created 0) Bi-n-F is equal to the width of the spiral line 5
It is advantageous to do so.

くなってしまうからである。The new method is particularly suitable for containers with a ring-shaped cylindrical cross-section and is particularly suitable for recording circumferential prints on these containers. However, on the other hand, the method is not limited to the use of the containers described above, but can also be used for containers having a shape other than a ring-shaped cross-section. However, in this case it is advantageous if the distance from the injection nozzle to the area of the container surface opposite it is kept constant. Because otherwise, due to the distance n from the injection nozzle to the container surface, the diameters of the recorded dots would be different or the shape would change, and this would lead to the uniformity of the raster and the difference between the individual surfaces. This is because the colored expression is easily damaged by the -urban image points.

プログラム制御のため使用できる。According to TII, an electronic program for the inkjet method, it is possible to directly transfer 11 marks from an original onto a container to be printed. In order to provide program control of the jet nozzles that form the image, the printed document can be optically scanned and divided into pixel dots while detecting positional coordinates and color deviations, in which case the digital data can be converted into suitable data as usual. It can be stored on a carrier and recalled at any time for the formation of a printed image or used for program control of the injection nozzles.
