Continuous additive manufacturing apparatuses are provided. An apparatus includes an actinic radiation-transparent substrate having a major surface and an irradiation source configured to direct actinic radiation through the actinic radiation-transparent substrate at predetermined dosages at predetermined locations. The apparatus further includes a means for depositing a composition onto the major surface of the actinic radiation-transparent substrate and a means for conveying the actinic radiation-transparent substrate or the irradiation source with respect to each other.

A printed matter exhibiting metallic gloss is provided and includes: a substrate; and a metallic glossy layer, being formed on the substrate, and the metallic glossy layer containing scaly particles having a metal. In the metallic glossy layer, the scaly particles are oriented to be substantially parallel to a surface of the metallic glossy layer; and the surface of the metallic glossy layer has a DOI value of greater than or equal to 20% and a Sa value of less than or equal to 2 μm.

A method of manufacturing an aircraft photoluminescent marker that comprises a substrate includes providing an ink or coating adapted to be cured with ultra violet (UV) radiation and printing one or more markings directly onto the substrate of the photoluminescent marker with the ink or coating, followed by curing the ink or coating with UV radiation. The substrate is one of a photoluminescent material or a housing, and the marking comprises at least one of a pattern, wording, images, blocks, or indicia.

A process for producing a lignocellulose-containing, plastic-coated and printable molding (26), in particular in sheet form, comprising the steps of: a) producing a layer (A, B′) containing lignocellulose-containing particles according to the shape of the molding to be produced (26); b) applying a layer (C) of particles containing electron beam-reactive thermoplastic onto the layer produced according to the preceding feature; c) heating the layers (A, C) produced according to the preceding features such that thermoplastic particles melt into the layer containing lignocellulose-containing particles (Cs); d) pressing the layers heated according to feature (1c); and e) irradiating the layers pressed according to feature (1d) with electrons in the energy range from 1 MeV to 10 MeV. The process is for example elucidated with reference to an MDF sheet one-sidedly provided with a polymer layer.

A production line is for aerosol containers (AC) whose exterior surface is printed with inks in a predetermined pattern to form a desired design including both imagery and graphics. The line includes an inking station and a varnish application station through which aerosol containers successively pass. Inks are applied to containers at the inking station and a varnish to the inked exterior of the container at the varnish station. A LED light module (12) installed between the ink station and varnish station emits a light within a predetermined frequency range onto inked containers. The temperature produced by the LED light source is cooler than that of Uv light sources that could be used for the same purpose. The exterior surface of finished containers exhibit no lapping or discolorations and have improved scratch resistance.

A printed material includes a base material, an image layer, and an adhesive layer. The image layer includes an image of a first shape. The adhesive layer has a second shape. The image layer and the adhesive layer are on opposite sides of the base material.

A printing apparatus comprises a depositing device and a sublimation device. The depositing device may deposit a print fluid on a first surface of a print medium. The print fluid comprises a sublimation agent to sublimate at a sublimation temperature. The sublimation device may sublimate the sublimation agent deposited on the print medium by generating heat radiation in a direction from a second surface of the print medium towards the first surface, the second surface being opposite to the first surface.
