[origin: US5760808A] PCT No. PCT/DE94/01417 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 17, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 17, 1996 PCT Filed Nov. 29, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/29063 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995A printing drum (10) contains printing elements (30). These printing elements (30) are each designed as a depression in the surface of the printing drum (10). The printing elements (30) are arranged in the manner of matrix rows. A printing drum (10) has more than one matrix row (33) of printing elements (30). Each printing element (30) contains a selectively activatable heating device (31) which is capable of heating ink (13) contained in the printing element (30), in such a way that, utilizing a gas bubble formed at the same time, the ink is ejected out of the printing element (30) in the direction of a recording medium (14). The printing elements (30) are filled with ink (13) in an inking station (11).
