Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008009284A1] To permit the base (12) of a hollow body such as a beverage can to be printed, the invention discloses a method for decorating an uneven surface of a dimensionally stable object. According to said method, the object to be decorated and a digital, contactless printing head are moved in relation to one another during the printing operation and the printing head (70, 80) is controlled by a control unit (20) in order to dispense ink. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: a control programme is created to control the printing head in accordance with the height profile of the uneven surface (13, 14, 16) to be decorated of the object; the position of said surface to be decorated is detected in relation to the printing head (70, 80); and the digital printing head is controlled using the programme that has been created. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method.
