Abstract:
A printing apparatus including a can body conveyance unit, an image forming unit, a light irradiation unit and one or more other can body stop locations. Light for curing an image on a can body is inhibited from reaching the image forming unit. An upstream side restricting wall ( 31 ) is positioned on the upstream side, namely, the side on which an ink jet head ( 240 ) is provided, of a can body ( 10 ) when the can body ( 10 ) is stopped at a mandrel stop location ( 811 ) or light irradiation stop location ( 811 ). The upstream side restricting wall ( 31 ) is thereby positioned between the can body ( 10 ) and the ink jet head ( 240 ), and ultraviolet light is restricted from heading toward the ink jet head ( 240 ).

Claim (Index 23):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 18 , further comprising:\n a light irradiation unit that is provided on a downstream side of the plurality of image forming units in a moving direction of the can body and performs light irradiation onto the image formed on the can body by the plurality of image forming units, wherein the rotating unit rotates a can body after the can body is stopped at the light irradiation unit by the moving unit, and the light irradiation unit starts light irradiation onto the can body when the can body is rotated by the rotating unit.
