Abstract
A method for printing on surfaces of three-dimensional objects with a cylindrical or curved surface by means of inkjet print heads includes printing a base color layer onto the three-dimensional object. Then, an upper color layer is printed above the base color layer. The base color layer is printed smaller than the upper color layer. The dimensions of the base color layer are less than the dimensions of the upper color layer in all directions on the surface of the three-dimensional object such that the upper color layer securely covers a margin of the lower base color layer.
