Claim Text:
1. A cyclically operating printing press for printing three-dimensional objects by inkjet printing in at least one printing station, the printing press comprising: a transport system including a clocked wheel configured to rotate in a clocked manner on which at least one drivable holder for holding a three-dimensional object is arranged; at least one fixed print head which is not moved with the transport system for inkjet printing in the printing station; a controller configured to: at least one additional print head for inkjet printing disposed in the printing station at another location or side than the print head relative to the axis of rotation of the three-dimensional object in such a way that: wherein an axis of the clocked wheel is substantially horizontal and wherein each holder of the three-dimensional object at each printing station always has a same axial orientation and is oriented in each case such that the axis of rotation of the holder is in the direction of gravity, so that the print heads print the three-dimensional object from the side.
