Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for aligning print heads (5) in relation to continuous printed material. According to the invention, to align the print heads (5) in relation to one another, the latter are displaced transversally to the direction of printing (6) and to align the print heads (5) in the direction of printing, the injection times of the print heads are temporally controlled. The print heads (5) can be precisely and simply aligned by the mechanical adjustment of only one axis.
