The present invention relates to a process for producing high-gloss surfaces on at least one portion of a substrate area, where the steps comprise (a) applying a layer made of a melt to at least one portion of the substrate area; (b) polishing of the applied layer of melt; (c) applying at least one lacquer layer to the polished layer of melt by means of a curtain-coating process; and (d) hardening the layer structure applied. The invention further relates to articles obtainable by this type of process.

An object is to provide phthalocyanine pigment compositions that have good transparency, gloss, and suitability in the initial viscosity after production as well as outstanding storage stability when used in liquid ink. A copper phthalocyanine pigment composition containing copper phthalocyanine, a rosin compound, copper phthalocyanine sulfonic acid or its salt, and an aliphatic amine with the calcium content of the pigment composition being 200 ppm or less has good transparency, gloss, and suitability in the initial viscosity after production as well as outstanding storage stability when used in liquid ink.
