PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for using a high-efficiency transfer film to form an image having an improved resolution on a three-dimensional base material by inkjet printing using an actinic radiation curable resist composition.SOLUTION: An actinic radiation curable ink 10 is selectively applied to a first surface of a flexible film 10 through which an actinic radiation can penetrate, and next the flexible film 10 is so applied that the side of the flexible film 10 where a curable ink 12 is applied may come into contact with the surface of a three-dimensional base material 16. An actinic radiation 18 which makes the ink cure on the three-dimensional base material 16 is applied to the flexible film 10 from the opposite side of the first surface. The method of this invention comprises removing the flexible film 10 to make the curable ink 12 remain on this three-dimensional base material 16. The method further comprises etching a section of the three-dimensional base material 16 uncoated with a cure
