A method for printing on a curved surface includes determining if a surface of a workpiece is curved, cutting an image to be printed into at least two printing areas if the surface is curved, and printing the printing area of the image on each surface of the workpiece. If the surfaces of the workpiece are not curved, the printing system directly prints the image on the workpiece. The printing system includes a rotating mechanism and a printer including an inkjet head having a plurality of nozzles. The workpiece is positioned on the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism rotates each surface of the workpiece to face the inkjet head and the inkjet head prints each printing area on it.

Method for printing on a curved surface

An inkjet printer includes an inkjet cartridge, an inkjet head, a controller, a viscosity adjustment device and a viscometer. The inkjet cartridge is filled with ink. The inkjet head is connected to the inkjet cartridge. The catcher plate is opposite to the inkjet head, and connected to the cartridge. The viscometer is configured for determining a viscosity of ink in the inkjet cartridge. The viscosity adjustment device is configured for adjusting viscosity of ink in the inkjet cartridge. The controller is electrically connected to the inkjet head, the viscometer, and the viscosity adjustment device, respectively.
