Two-dimensional method for inkjet printing with printhead alignment

A method for printing at least part of the surface of a medium (100) with an inkjet printer by performing a plurality of printing cycles, wherein the inkjet printer comprises a printing module (101) with at least one printhead with at least one row of nozzles (107), and wherein a printing cycle respectively comprises the following steps:

• a) positioning and aligning the printing module (101) prior to printing, wherein the alignment is performed by rotation of the printing module (101) around a rotation axis (103) that is perpendicular on the part of the surface to be printed,
• b) positioning the rotation axis (103) during printing of the part of the surface by expulsion of ink drops,
• wherein the translation movement of the rotation axis (103) associated in step b) with the positioning process defines a current direction of travel, and wherein the printing module (101) is aligned respectively in step a) of a printing cycle through rotation around said rotation axis (103) in such a manner that the at least one row of nozzles (107) of the at least one printhead has in step b) a predetermined and preferably constant angle in respect of the direction of travel,
• with the printing method being characterized in that the printing cycles take place according to a predetermined printing workflow that is different from the scanning technique.
