Abstract

A linear printing machine with exchangeable printing modules for printing on hollow bodies. The machine includes a transport system including a drive, using which the hollow bodies to be printed on are transported through the linear printing machine and at least a first printing station and a second printing station which is arranged downstream of the first printing station in the conveying direction of the hollow bodies. At least one drying station dries the ink on the hollow bodies which have been printed on. A machine controller controls at least the transport of the hollow bodies through the linear printing machine, wherein each of the printing stations is prepared to accommodate a printing module comprising a drive of its own, and wherein the printing module can be connected to the machine controller via an interface, wherein the printing modules print on the hollow bodies using a printing method selected from screen printing and/or flexographic printing and/or offset printing and/or cold embossing and/or hot embossing and/or laser colour transfer and/or inkjet.
