The method for printing objects having curved or polygonal surfaces, more particularly cylindrical objects, which method improves the quality of the printing, is easy to carry out, and has a high throughput capacity, is characterized in that the surface of the object is first coated with a plastic which has an affinity for dyes and which inhibits migration, whereupon a flexible auxiliary carrier, which is printed with printing ink adapted to be sublimated under heat, which may be made of paper, and which has the printed side facing the plastic coating, is brought to bear closely against the surface of the object as a strip, at least the said strip being heated to above the sublimation temperature of the printing ink, and being secured, during the heating, closely to the surface of the object, and the means used to secure the said strip, and then the strip itself, being finally removed. |
