Claim:
A method for producing raised structures serving as grip nubs on a surface of a pencil, which comprises the steps of: applying, with a nozzle, a drop of a plastic preparation on the surface of the pencil for producing a respective one of the raised structures, removing the nozzle from the drop of plastic applied onto the surface of the pencil for detaching the nozzle from the preparation without stringing, and radiating the drop for curing the drop, the plastic preparation containing a radiation-curable plastic mass and has a composition of a plastic mass formed from: oligomer and monomer 40% to 98% wt.; photoinitiator system 0.1% to 30% wt.; amorphous silicon dioxide 0.3% to 30% wt.; and/or micronized amide wax colorant 0% to 60% wt.; filler 0% to 60% wt.; further additives 0% to 10% wt.; and irradiating the raised structures for curing.
