A manufacturing method for a decorative panel for shower trays formed by a polymeric panel (1) made of a solid-surface material, comprises coating the outer surfaces of the polymeric panel (1) with a decorative pattern (2) printed on said outer surfaces using an ink which is transferred to said panel (1) by sublimation in a vacuum chamber under predetermined temperature, pressure, and time conditions. The panel (1) has a perimetral area (3) having a greater thickness and at least one non-perimetral area (4) having a smaller thickness, wherein all the surfaces of the panel (1) coated with the decorative pattern have a uniform finish. A protective layer is placed on a non-perimetric zone (4) of the panel to prevent overheating during the panel curing process and to avoid imperfections on the decorative pattern from being formed on the non-perimetric zone (4)

According to the present disclosure, a textile printing ink jet ink composition includes a thioindigo-skeleton-containing dye and elemental sulfur. A content of the elemental sulfur in the textile printing ink jet ink composition is 0.01 ppm or greater and 500 ppm or less relative to the total mass of the ink composition.

The present application is directed to a transferable film for dye sublimation, the film comprising, in an example implementation, a carrier film; and a dye sublimation-receptive layer comprising a base resin that undergoes crosslinking at elevated temperatures. In an example implementation, the dye sublimation-receptive layer comprises an acrylic copolymer with acrylate reactive groups. Methods of using the transferrable film to create a dye sublimation-receptive surface are also provided, as are substrates having a substantially non-receptive to dye sublimation inks onto which is formed a thermally crosslinked layer to the substrate surface.

The present disclosure is drawn to inkjet inks, which can include an aqueous ink vehicle and a pigment particle having a block copolymer attached to a surface of the pigment particle. The block copolymer can be linked to the surface through a silyl coupling group. The block copolymer can include a steric stabilizing block formed by polymerizing a monomer having a sterically bulky group, and an ionic stabilizing block formed by polymerizing a monomer having an acidic group or a basic group.

Apparatuses and methods for applying a transfer material from a transfer component onto the surface of an article are disclosed, including apparatuses and methods of transfer printing on and/or decorating three-dimensional articles, as well as the articles printed and/or decorated thereby. In some embodiments, the method may utilize a printer such as an inkjet printer. In some cases, the transfer material may be a UV curable ink and/or adhesive. When the transfer material is UV curable, the transfer component may be permeable to UV radiation to allow curing of the ink and/or adhesive therethrough. UV curable adhesives including thiol-acrylate and thiol-ene acrylate inkjet-able adhesives are disclosed.
