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 4):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein\n two or more of the restricting walls are provided for each of the can bodies, and, when the each can body is stopped at the light irradiation stop location, one of the restricting walls corresponding to the can body is positioned on an upstream side of the can body in the can body conveyance direction, and the other of the restricting walls corresponding to the can body is positioned on a downstream side of the can body in the can body conveyance direction.
