• at least one conveying means arranged on the machine bed for conveying at least one textile along a processing path,
• at least one priming means arranged on the machine bed for applying a primer in a planar manner on a motif region of the textile, on which a print motif is to be provided, wherein the primer covers the basic color of the textile, and
• at least one printing means arranged on the machine bed and having at least one digital print head for printing the print motif,
• wherein
• the priming means is designed for applying the primer with a layer thickness ranging between 10 μm and 500 μm,
• along the processing path between or before the priming means and the printing means at least one pressing station is arranged which is designed for pressing the motif region and thus, together with the priming means, is designed for leveling out and evening out the three-dimensional structure of the textile with the applied primer and a previous and/or subsequent pressing, wherein through the primer pores and mesh openings of the textile are covered and a closed area of the motif region is formed, and
• in that by means of the at least one conveying means the textile can be transported between the priming means and the pressing station and between the pressing station and the printing means.
