A printable media comprising a composite supporting substrate, having an image side and a non-image side, that contains a first and a second constituent material layers wherein, at least, one of the constituent material layer is a fiber layer and wherein the first and the second materials layers are laminated together with a flame resistant adhesion layer. The printable media further comprises an image receiving layer that is coated on the second layer on the image side of the composite supporting substrate. In the printable media described herein, at least, the image side of the composite supporting substrate and the image receiving layer are textured surfaces. Also disclosed is a method for producing the textured media.

The present invention relates to a multi-layered sheet suitable as floor or wall covering exhibiting a three-dimensional surface relief and a decorative image, comprising: i. a support layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; ii. a foamed layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the foamed layer provided adjacent, and adherent to the upper surface of the support layer, the upper surface of the foamed layer comprising a discontinuous chemically embossed relief pattern, wherein the discontinuous chemically embossed relief pattern comprises indentations formed by single or stacked dots of a digitally printed material comprising a foam inhibiting agent; and optionally iii. a decorative layer adhered to the upper surface of the foamed layer; and optionally iv. at least one wear resistant layer provided adjacent and adhered to the decorative layer; and optionally v. a backing layer provided adjacent and adhered to the lower surface of the support layer.

The present invention addresses at least the problem of providing a method for forming a high-resolution foil image regardless of the hydrophilicity of a recording medium. In order to solve said problem, the present invention provides a method wherein an adhesive ink that is formed by dispersing or dissolving a polymer resin in water and in a water-soluble organic solvent is used as an adhesive for a foil, the adhesive is applied by means of inkjet printing, and a foil image is formed. The polymer resin of the adhesive ink is a polymer of a monomer that includes (meth)acrylic acid and a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having a C.sub.2-12 alkyl group, the acid value of the polymer resin being 50-120 mg KOH/g, and the glass transition temperature of the polymer resin being 30-110 C.

Provided is a method for coating inks, the method including coating a plurality of kinds of inks on a target by an inkjet method individually, wherein the target includes a base and a gel layer provided on the base and containing a vinyl chloride resin and a plasticizer, wherein the plurality of kinds of inks are oil-based inks and include an ink x and an inky that is to be discharged after the ink x is discharged, and wherein an interpenetration ratio Pxy of the inky to the ink x is 7.0% or greater but 13.0% or less.

A method of manufacturing a water-insoluble pattern on and/or within a substrate is described. Also described, is a substrate obtained by such a method, a product including such a substrate and the use of the substrate in different applications.

The present invention relates to a method for producing decorative prints having identical quality on at least two carrier materials comprising the following steps: a) providing at least one print motif; b) converting the at least one print motif into at least one high resolution electronic data set having a resolution of up to 1200 dpi, preferably 1000 dpi, by means of at least one image processing software; c) reducing the resolution of the at least one high resolution electronic data set down to 100 dpi, preferably 60 to 80 dpi, by means of at least one image processing software; d) creating at least one first print dcor on at least one first carrier material by using at least one digital printer by means of the at least one resolution reduced electronic data set; e) creating at least one print cylinder for a gravure printing process by using at least one resolution reduced electronic data set, wherein the resolution reduced electronic data set can be identical to or different from the resolution reduced electronic data set used for the digital printing; and f) creating at least one second print dcor on at least one second carrier material by using the at least one print cylinder. The invention further relates to a device for performing said method.

The present invention relates to a method of forming a surface covering for example wallpaper or a floor covering and an apparatus for forming a surface covering, in which a surface covering raw material is supplied, the surface covering raw material comprising a substrate and a resin layer comprising a resin and a carrier liquid, the resin being dispersed in the carrier liquid and being capable of gelling or curing with the carrier liquid. A pattern is then applied to the resin layer by inkjet printing, and the surface covering raw material with the pattern formed on the resin layer is heated to gel or cure the resin layer to thereby prepare a surface covering.
