ABSTRACT:
A multiple-color tampon printing machine with a tampon carrier member is rotatable in a step-by-step movement about a first axis. A stereotype plate carrier member is rotatably mounted about a second axis which extends parallel to the first axis. The stereotype plate carrier member carries out a step-by-step rotating movement synchronously with the tampon carrier member. The tampon carrier member additionally carries out an up-and-down movement at predetermined fixed positions of rotation. A surface of a stereotype plate, a printing material holding device, and a tampon cleaning device are arranged in a common plane and in a circle around the tampon carrier member, such that, when the printing material is held stationary, a first tampon picks up a printing image from the respective stereotype plate surface, a second tampon preceding the first tampon prints the printing image onto the printing material, and a third tampon following the first tampon is cleaned by the tampon cleaning device. This procedure is carried out cyclically until all tampons have transferred the respective printing image to the printing material. A cyclically operating stereotype plate inking device applies printing ink on each stereotype plate prior to the transfer of the printing image by the respective tampon.
