The invention relates to a method of providing board containers (V) with prints and a printing machine that applies the method. According to the invention, the printing machine comprises a turret head (2), with uniformly spaced radial arms (3) diverging from its rotational axis, each arm ending in a mandrel (4) that carries a container (1 ); and stationary stations (5, 6, 8) that are located on the path of the turret head for gripping a container, printing it by a printhead (7, 13), and removing the printed container (V). At the printing station (6), the container (1) is digital-printed by the printhead (7), past which the surface of the container is conveyed by means of a rotational motion. The container can be a conical drinking cup (1), which is ink-jet printed by the stationary printhead (7) by rotating the cup by 360° by means of the mandrel (4) that is pushed inside the cup. The cups (1) can be produced at a plant in mass-scale production runs and divided into smaller lots, which are delivered to customers and which the customers then print according to their own individual needs.

L'invention porte sur un procédé permettant d'obtenir des conteneurs en carton (V) présentant des impressions, et sur une machine d'impression utilisant ce procédé. Conformément à l'invention, la machine d'impression comprend une tête de tourelle (2) pourvue de bras radiaux uniformément espacés (3) qui divergent à partir de son axe de rotation, chaque bras présentant, à son extrémité, une broche (4) portant un conteneur (1) ; et des postes fixes (5, 6, 8) situés sur le chemin de la tête de tourelle et destinés à la préhension d'un conteneur, à son impression au moyen d'une tête d'impression (7, 13) et au dépôt du conteneur imprimé (V). Au poste d'impression (6), le conteneur (1) est imprimé numériquement par la tête d'impression (7), la surface du conteneur étant convoyée au moyen d'un mouvement de rotation. Le conteneur peut être un gobelet conique (1) alors imprimé par jet d'encre par la tête d'impression fixe (7) au cours d'une rotation de 360° imprimée au gobelet par la broche (4) préalablement poussée à l'intérieur dudit gobelet. Les gobelets (1) peuvent être fabriqués au cours d'opérations de production à très grande échelle, puis divisés en lots moins importants livrés aux clients qui les impriment en fonction de leurs besoins individuels.
