A system and method of inkjet printing on organic material such as a rose petal is disclosed. The stand has an anchor member which secures the rose stem, a support beam which can be repositioned to adjust the force exerted by the beam on the rose stem, and a printing window to align the rose petals for inkjet printing.

A method for manufacturing the panel element (1) according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a process of printing a printed layer (4a) formed of an ink that does not transmit light on a front side of a resin sheet (3); a process of superimposing and printing a printed layer (4b) on an upper surface of the printed layer (4a) to form a laminated printed layer (4); and a process of irradiating the laminated printed layer (4) with laser light on a front side thereof to remove a part of the laminated printed layer (4) and to form a hole portion having a vertical end face in the laminated printed layer (4).

A printable media including a carrier layer, a fabric layer and a first adhesive. The carrier layer includes a first surface having a first area, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first rigidity. The fabric layer includes a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface and including a second area, and a second rigidity less than the first rigidity. The fabric layer is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding a first portion of the fourth surface to the first surface.

This application relates to ring-shaped adhesives for use during the manufacturing of a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device can have a small form factor, such as being a tablet computer or a mobile phone. A printable adhesive is dispensed on a release liner in a shape that conforms with a surface of the portable electronic device. The shape of the printable adhesive follows a path characterized by a continuous closed curve and encloses an area on the release liner without printable adhesive dispensed therein. The width of the printable adhesive along the continuous closed curve can vary to conform to features in one or more surfaces of the portable electronic device. The features can have dimensions of less than one millimeter. The printable adhesive can be can be applied to the release liner by a screen printing process or by dispensing the printable adhesive through a nozzle.

Provided is a printing plate, containing: a screen plate having an opening pattern; and, a frame body to which the screen plate is fixed, in which the screen plate includes at least one curved part and is relatively movably fixed to the frame body.

Described herein is a printing ink or coating composition that includes: (a) one or more elastomeric polyurethane resins with amine functionality having a glass transition temperature of about 45 C. to about 70 C.; (b) one or more acrylic resins based on a methacrylate/styrene co-polymer with a glass transition temperature of about 45 C. to about 110 C.; (c) one or more nitrocellulose binders; (d) one or more solvents; and (e) optionally, one or more waxes and/or one or more colorants. The inks and coating compositions are well suited for printing onto shrink sleeve label substrates, such as by flexographic and gravure printing. The inks and coatings provide exceptional printability and resistance to chemicals, to softening, to re-wetting, and to set-off.

A metallic image forming method is a method for forming a metallic image with a metallic ink containing an organic coloring agent capable of exhibiting a metallic color on a recording medium provided with an undercoat layer thereon having a black color or an opposite color to the color of diffused light from the metallic ink. The method includes applying the metallic ink onto the recording medium so as to cover at least part of the undercoat layer.
