A printing system is designed to reduce the overall time and the cost required for printing patterns on objects such as musical instruments and prevents printed patterns from being partially extended or distorted. Image data representing prescribed patterns are processed in response to object form data representing the form of an object, wherein upon receipt of a user's print instruction, an RGB color inkjet printer ejects ink onto a prescribed surface of the object on the basis of the processed image data. Image data can be produced by picking up an image of another surface of the object, which is transferred onto the prescribed surface of the object, thus establishing a sense of unity in visual sensation therebetween. Alternatively, image data can be processed in correspondence with the selected surface of the object, so that the prescribed image is printed on the selected surface of the object.
