Abstract:
This application discloses methods of printing a three-dimensional object on a base using a printing device. One method includes printing a color layer of the three-dimensional object onto a region of the base. The color layer has a color thickness corresponding to a selected color intensity of a color. The method also includes determining a structural thickness for a structural layer of the three-dimensional object by calculating a difference between the color thickness and a target thickness of the three-dimensional object. The target thickness is greater than the color thickness. The method further includes printing the structural layer having the structural thickness directly onto the color layer.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for printing a three-dimensional object on a base, the method comprising:\n printing a structural layer of the three-dimensional object on a plurality of regions of the base, wherein in a first region of the plurality of regions, the structural layer has a first portion with a first structural thickness, wherein in a second region of the plurality of regions, the structural layer has a second portion with a second structural thickness which is less than the first structural thickness, wherein the first portion of the structural layer and the second portion of the structural layer are adjacent; printing a first color layer of the three-dimensional object directly on the first portion of the structural layer, wherein the first color layer has a first color thickness, and wherein the first color thickness of the first color layer and the first structural thickness of the structural layer together form a target thickness of the three-dimensional object; and printing a second color layer of the three-dimensional object directly on the second portion of the structural layer, wherein the second color layer has a second color thickness which is greater than the first color thickness, wherein the second color thickness of the second color layer and the second structural thickness of the structural layer together form the target thickness of the three-dimensional object, and wherein the first color layer and the second color layer are adjacent.
