A covering element includes a carrier plate including at least mineral particles pressed together to a plate by a polymeric adhesion agent, complementary recesses and protrusions formed, respectively, on opposing lateral edges of the carrier plate, so in an assembled condition of two or more covering elements, the complementary recesses and protrusions can engage with complementary protrusions and recesses, respectively, of another of the two or more covering elements, a decor layer including a polymer and on a front side of the carrier plate, the decor layer including at least at least one, color pigment-containing, printing layer and a polymer-containing transparent top layer containing polyurethane or acrylic.

Process for producing a surface covering with an embossed printed surface

A process for producing a surface covering with an embossed printed surface is described. A substrate (16) is continuously moved through a production line, and this substrate (16) is first provided, in a printing equipment (12), with a printed pattern and thereafter, in an embossing equipment (14), with an embossed pattern, which is registered with the printed pattern. The printing equipment (12) produces the printed pattern in-line with the production of the embossed pattern. During printing in the printing equipment (12), the printed pattern is stretched or compressed, dynamically responsive to indicators of misalignments between the printed pattern and the embossed pattern, so as to correct or prevent the misalignments. A production line for carrying out this process is also proposed.
