Method for generating relief prints

A print system for generating a print of a digital image, the digital image comprising image pixels and having an elevation channel for defining an elevation channel value of each image pixel, the elevation channel value indicating the amount of elevation of the corresponding image pixel, the print system comprising a print head for ejecting recording material, radiation means for curing the ejected recording material and a print control unit, the print control unit comprising:

• a) providing means for providing the digital image to the print control unit;
• b) deriving means for deriving from the elevation channel of the digital image, image pixels in the digital image which are expected to receive such a low amount of radiation at the location in the print corresponding to the image pixel that recording material ejected at said location in the print may be insufficiently cured;
• and
• c) adapting means for adapting for each derived image pixel at least one elevation channel value of the digital image by such an amount that the recording material ejected at said location in the print is expected to be sufficiently cured, wherein the adapting of the at least one elevation channel value of the digital image is at least one out of a group of:
• increasing the elevation channel value of the derived image pixel;
• and
• decreasing the elevation channel value of at least one image pixel neighbouring the derived image pixel and,
• wherein the printer is able to generate a print of the digital image with the at least one adapted elevation channel value by ejecting recording material.
