1. A coating product applicator comprising printing nozzles each including an outlet channel emerging in a downstream direction by a coating product discharge orifice, wherein the printing nozzles are distributed on at least two faces of a rigid body of the applicator, wherein the discharge orifices of these nozzles extend along at least two nonparallel planes, and wherein the printing nozzles distributed on a first face of the rigid body of the applicator are configured to activate independently of the printing nozzles distributed on a second face of the rigid body of the applicator when the coating product applicator is operating, and wherein the rigid body is parallelepiped having six faces as follows:
a front face that is planar;
a rear face that is planar and parallel to the front face;
two longitudinal faces that are planar and parallel to one another; and
two transverse faces that are planar and parallel to one another;
wherein the said first face with distributed printing nozzles corresponds to the front face, and said second face with distributed printing nozzles corresponds to one of the two longitudinal faces or the two transverse faces.
