Abstract
A device for printing at least one component using a digital printing method includes at least one print bar with a plurality of spray nozzles for electronically controlled spraying of coloring liquid and at least one holding device structured and arranged for holding the at least one component. Additionally, the device includes a transport device for generating a linear relative motion between the at least one print bar and the at least one holding device directed approximately perpendicular to a spray direction of the plurality of spray nozzles and a control device, with which the transport device and the plurality of spray nozzles can be controlled such that the at least one component is printed with a predetermined pattern. Further, the device includes a rotation device controllable by the control device, and structured and arranged to rotate the at least one component through about an axis, which is tilted to the spray direction of the spray nozzles.
