  • light emitting diodes LED's in the form of LED arrays or LED strips can be used here. Typical LEDs are eg in the DE10158395B4 or the DE10333907A1 described.
  • a device for printing on containers with a curing station is in the US 2004/0173110 described.
  • Beam characteristics of LED bulbs used for UV pinning can be highly divergent, including beam angles up to 120 ° or more. This has the disadvantage, inter alia, that with increasing distance to the LED lamp, the light output is greatly reduced. There are thus power losses and unwanted stray light.
  • a light-reactive printing ink of the container printing under certain circumstances, can not sufficiently harden and run, for example.
  • UV light can fall directly or indirectly, for example, on printing nozzles of a printing head used for printing containers of an inkjet printer, and clog the printing nozzles by hardening of the ink.

  • the term “light deflection” may also include the possibility of redistributing the light distribution, e.g. a point-shaped light distribution of a laser light source can be converted into a one-dimensional line or two-dimensional area distribution.
  • the term “light deflection” may include only the deflection in the sense that the optical axis of a beam path is deflected, i. with a change of direction of the optical axis of the beam path before and after the optical element.
  • crosslinking behavior of light-reactive media in particular e.g. the droplet size of inks, e.g. applied by means of ink jet printing process, can thus be controlled more targeted.
  • the curing time or the required light output can also be reduced, e.g. Hardening times shorter than 2, 5 or 10 ms can be achieved because less light radiation power is lost.
  • the quality of printing smaller container can be increased thanks to the more targeted and more efficient redirecting the annealing light or more targeted control of the irradiation range of the curing light.
  • Scattered light can be reduced, thus reducing e.g. reduce the risk that light undesirably falls on any pressure nozzles and clog them by curing light-reactive ink.
  • the light source may be a UV light source, e.g. a system of one or more light emitting diodes, and may preferably emit light in a wavelength range between 354 to 445 nm.
