1. A method of forming a solid body using a two-dimensional image printer, comprising:
- applying materials of different colors in liquid droplets for solidifying in several layers one upon the other to form a body having an interior and surface layer, and selecting colors of the liquids for forming the surface layer of the body from a specific set of surface colors, the surface layer being formed by mixed printing of transparent droplets and surface color droplets,wherein a thickness of the surface layer in a direction normal to the surface layer increases with increasing slope of the surface layer of the body.

Abstract
A method of forming a solid body using a two-dimensional image printer, wherein liquid droplets of different colors are used for applying solid material in several layers one upon the other, and colors of the liquids for forming a surface layer of the body are selected from a specific set of surface colors, the surface layer being formed by mixed printing of transparent droplets and surface color droplets, characterized in that the thickness of the surface layer is varied such that it increases with increasing slope of the surface of the body.
