The can body moving mechanism (200) is provided with a rotating member (210) formed in a disc shape and rotating in a clockwise direction in the drawing. The can body moving mechanism (200) is also provided with a plurality of image forming units (220) provided on the rotating member (210) and forming an image onto the outer circumference surface of the can body (10) while moving with the can body (10). The image forming units (220) are each provided with a plurality of ink ejection devices for ejecting ink onto the outer circumference surface of the can body (10).
