FIELD: method for printing an image on an object, object, having an image created according to method, printing device, meant for producing an object with a seal.
SUBSTANCE: method for printing an image on an object contains operation for providing an object, external surface of which has flat section and a recess, deepened relatively to the flat section, applying a first layer of paint to the external surface, drying the first layer of paint and applying paint drops to dried layer of paint to form an image. Drops are sprayed from jet printing mechanism, which is positioned at constant distance from the plane of the flat section of the object. The method for applying an image to an object includes following operations: selection of image to be applied to an object, determining of dominating color of selected image, selection of first color, connected to dominating color, application of first layer of paint to an object, having a color, where the color of the first layer of paint is the first selected color, application of second layer of paint to recess, which layer has second color and jet printing of selected image on an object on top of at least a part of flat section and at least a part of recess. The image is also applied to door and is formed on door case. The image may be of photographic quality. Jet printing mechanism may be used for application of an image. Top cover, resistant to effect of ultraviolet radiation, may be applied to the paint on a door. Shaped object contains external surface, first layer of paint from painter, covering aforementioned surface, photographic quality image printed by jet printing method, overlapping first layer of paint and upper cover, which covers aforementioned layer of paint and aforementioned image. Printing device, which uses jet printing method for printing an image of photographic quality on formed object contains: device for application of cover, meant for applying first layer of paint to upper surface of object, where upper surface has flat section and deepened section, and jet printer, meant for printing an image on top surface. Printer contains a jet printing mechanism, meant for releasing paint drops for jet printing, and jet printing mechanism may move in the plane which is parallel to the surface of flat section. Product with a seal contains: external surface, facing, which is attached to external surface, and upper cover, which covers the facing and the image.
EFFECT: claimed method may be used to produce high quality images on the whole external surface which is subject to printing.
