A method and equipment to form a digital print by applying dry colourants on a surface of a panel, bonding a part of the colourants with a binder and removing the non-bonded colourants from the surface. The method of forming a digital print on a surface of a panel includes displacing the panel under a digital drop application head, applying a liquid binder with the digital drop application head on the surface; applying colourants on the liquid binder and the surface; bonding a part of the colourants to the surface with the liquid binder; removing non-bonded colourants from the surface such that a digital print is formed by the bonded colourants; and applying heat and pressure on the panel, the surface and the bonded colorants such that the colourants are permanently bonded to the surface.

A manufacturing method for decorating natural leather including the steps of: jetting a decorative image with one or more radiation curable inkjet inks on a leather surface; and curing the radiation curable inkjet inks jetted on the leather surface; wherein the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks include a colorant and a polymerizable composition containing 0 to 15.0 wt % of one or more polyfunctional polymerizable compounds and at least 85.0 wt % of one or more monofunctional polymerizable compounds with the weight percentages based on the total weight of the polymerizable composition; wherein the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks include 0 to 35.0 wt % of organic solvent; and at least 85.0 wt % of one or more monofunctional polymerizable compounds; and wherein the glass transition temperature of the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks (I) is less than 25° C.; and wherein one of the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks includes a white pigment in an amount of at least 17.5 wt % based on the total weight of the radiation curable inkjet ink.

A manufacturing method for decorating natural leather employing a radiation curable white inkjet ink including more than 16 wt % of white pigment and 0 to 35 wt % of organic solvent, both weight percentages based on the total weight of the radiation curable white inkjet ink and a polymerizable composition containing 0 to 15.0 wt % of one or more polyfunctional polymerizable compounds, and at least 85.0 wt % of one or more monofunctional polymerizable compounds; and a specific polymerizable composition.

A method and equipment to form a digital image on a surface by applying a powder layer including colour pigments on the surfaces, bonding a part of the powder and removing the non-bonded powder from the surface.

A manufacturing method for decorating natural leather including the steps of: jetting a decorative image with one or more radiation curable inkjet inks on a leather surface; and curing the radiation curable inkjet inks jetted on the leather surface; wherein the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks include a colorant and a polymerizable composition containing 0 5 to 15.0 wt % of one or more polyfunctional polymerizable compounds and at least 85.0 wt % of one or more monofunctional polymerizable compounds with the weight percentages based on the total weight of the polymerizable composition; wherein the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks include 0 to 35.0 wt % of organic solvent; and at least 85.0 wt % of one or more monofunctional polymerizable compounds; and wherein the glass transition temperature of the one or more radiation curable inkjet inks (I) is less than 25° C.

A printed matter has a substrate and a glossy layer provided on the substrate. The substrate is at least one selected from the group consisting of a steel plate, a metal plate, a plastic plate, a film, a ceramic plate, concrete, wood, glass, and fabric (the substrate is not a transparent member), wherein the glossy layer comprises a translucent ink, wherein on a surface of the substrate, a first region including a first protrusion formed along a first direction in a plane and a second region including a second protrusion formed along a second direction different from the first direction are formed, and wherein the first protrusion includes a curved part which is curved from the first direction to the second direction and connected to the second region.

A method for producing printed matter is disclosed that includes applying a pretreatment liquid containing a resin and a pretreatment liquid containing a coagulant to a substrate, and after the applying of these pretreatment liquids, applying an aqueous inkjet ink to the substrate using an inkjet system.

Printing methods for preconstructed leather goods are disclosed that include printing an art template across the junction of adjacent or adjoining leather panels.

Example embodiments of biodegradable cards and systems and methods making the same are provided. A biodegradable card can comprise a biodegradable substrate, a magnetic particle slot within the biodegradable substrate configured to receive magnetic particles, a high coercivity magnetic stripe comprising magnetic particles printed on the biodegradable substrate and encoded with payment account data, and a biodegradable water resistant coating, wherein the coating covers at least the magnetic stripe.

A manufacturing method for decorating natural leather with a decorative image includes applying on a crusted leather a base coat containing a pigment for providing a chromatic colour or an achromatic colour different from black, inkjet printing a colour image on the base coat using one or more pigmented UV curable inkjet inks, optionally applying a protective top coat on the image, and optionally applying a heat pressing or embossing step, wherein the chromatic colour or the achromatic colour different from black of the base coat and the inkjet printed colour image are used in combination to provide the decorative image.
