Abstract

A method of printing includes using a printing head that comprises straight parallel rows of printing nozzles to print a printed image on a surface of a conically rotationally symmetrical region of an outer wall of an object by controlling parallel rows of printing nozzles taking into account pixel density to be achieved in the printed image, setting a printing density of a printing nozzle with regard to at least one reference parameter, and setting a variable offset between a pair of the rows based on a change in relative speed between the printing head and the conically rotationally symmetrical region of the object.
