The method according to the invention consists in that the carrier is covered with at least two varnished layers, the two layers being made of electron curable varnishes, which may contain an additive increasing adhesion between the layers, and if the layer which is applied first, counting from the side of the carrier, containing an interlayer adhesion increasing additive, is irradiated with an excimer lamp and then pre-polymerized by electron radiation or UV light, then after applying the second layer also containing an interlayer adhesion increasing additive, the combined layers are cured by electron radiation or UV light. On the other hand, if the layer applied first, counting from the carrier side, is only pre-polymerized by electron radiation or UV light, then after applying the second layer, which then contains an additive increasing adhesion between the layers, it is subjected to irradiation by an excimer lamp and then the combined layers are cured by electron radiation or UV light. As a result, it is possible to obtain a product whose layer refined with excimer lamp and the layer only cured with electron radiation or UV light, are bound together regardless of the order of their occurrence.
