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.

Abstract: A printing device includes a plurality of print heads, each of which has a printing zone. An extension of this printing zone in a direction of printing defines a line height and an extention of this printing zone perpendicular to the direction of printing defines a column width. The printing heads are arranged in several parallel rows which are located at a distance from one another. The print heads in different rows are offset in relation to each other direction perpendicular to the direction of printing. A separation distance between the print heads in each row corresponds to the column width multiplied by the number of rows. The distance between the rows corresponds to the line height multiplied by the number of rows plus one.
