1. A method for printing a print of a print image on a surface of a three-dimensional object with a cylindrical or curved surface by inkjet print heads, the method comprising:

  • printing a base color layer onto the three-dimensional object; and

    thenprinting an upper color layer above the base color layer, wherein the base color layer is printed smaller than the upper color layer, the dimensions of the base color layer being 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 and forms a visible part of the print image outside of the margin of the lower base color layer, the upper color layer representing the print image and being a reference for a size of the print,wherein the base color layer with regard to print resolution indicated in pixels is smaller than the upper color layer by an amount in a range from 5 to 30 pixels.
