A method for printing on the curved surface of a three-dimensional (3-D) article, such as a plastic window. The printing method generally comprises generating a 3-D surface with the desired image; defining print head paths; calculating imaginary, two- dimensional printing surfaces; projecting the desired image onto the imaginary, two- dimensional printing surfaces; inspecting and correcting for any missed portion of the projected image; calibrating and adjusting the projected image; and printing the projected image through the imaginary, two-dimensional printing surfaces, thereby, creating the desired image on the surface of the 3-D article. |
