basic resolution which distance lies approximately at 5 u03bc and 50 u03bcm so that the printing grids are offset in respect to each other matching of the printing resolution in the direction of movement of the material to be printed is performed by an appropriate matching of the time control of the shot time therefore the print heads are offset in the axial direction of the cylinder in particular following a first revolution of the cylinder preferably the entire printing beam 30 is laterally displaced the above described printing device preferably imprints material 26 which is arranged curved on a cylinder in this case the printing device can also be utilized for changing the coating or for coating a printing forme 26 wherein the printing forme 26 is embodied as a planographic plate 26 the planographic printing plate 26 can have an ink absorbing layer and an ink repelling layer placed on it corresponding to the image to be printed the printing device will apply a developing fluid to the ink repelling layer by which the ink repelling layer is changed in the charged areas for waterless offset printing the printing plate 26 is embodied with an ink repelling layer of silicon preferably each print head has 64 to 256 nozzle.
