Claims (20)

1 . A can body printing device comprising:

a support unit supporting a can body with a predetermined area having been subjected to first printing and deformation; and

a printing unit performing second printing by digital printing on a barrel portion of the supported can body.

2 . A can body printing system comprising:

a first printing unit performing first printing on a predetermined area of a can body;

a deformation unit deforming the area; and

a second printing unit, after the deformation of the area, performing second printing by digital printing on a barrel portion provided contiguous to the area subjected to the first printing and the deformation.

3 . The can body printing system according to claim 2 , wherein

the predetermined area is a diameter decreased portion of the can body, and

the first printing is performed before the area is deformed.

4 . The can body printing system according to claim 2 , wherein the first printing unit performs printing on the area or a location other than the area to form an image for distinguishing the can body from another can body.

5 . A can body to be subjected to digital printing, comprising:

an area subjected to first printing and deformation; and

a barrel portion provided contiguous to the area and capable of being subjected to second printing by digital printing.
