I (57) : A can imprinting device (10) includes a blanket wheel (16) having a plurality of blankets (20). Each blanket has a printing surface (21) and at least two of the printing surfaces having a first part (22) and a second part (32) that each have raised and recessed portions. The first raised portion (26) is configured to form a positive image (40a) on a can body (100) of the plurality of can bodies. The first raised portion (26) of at least one of the blankets is different in form from the first raised portion (26) of at least one other of the blankets. The second recessed portion (38) is configured to form a negative image (40b) on the can body. The negative image is inverse to the positive image. The first part (22) and the second part (32) are disposed relative to each other such that the negative image (40b) aligns with the positive image (40a) on the can body.
