Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017182439A1] The invention relates to digital printing on three-dimensional objects (1), in particular bottles, cans or other hollow bodies, by means of at least one printing head (7), wherein, for printing, the object (1) to be printed on is moved in relation to the printing head (7), a printing template (12) being broken down into a multiplicity of printing dots (14) and the printing dots (14) being stored in a printing raster (15) consisting of image columns and image rows, the printing raster (15) being used for activating the printing head (7) during the printing in order to apply a print image to the object (1) to be printed. The printing raster (15) is curved and the image rows and image columns extend obliquely in relation to one another. The printing template (12) is read into the curved printing raster (15).
