A three-dimensional decorative piece made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin is produced by subjecting, to high-frequency dielectric heating, a decorative piece material that includes an upper layer that includes a thermoplastic synthetic resin film having a vapor-deposited metal layer, an intermediate layer that includes a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, and a lower layer that includes a thermal bonding film, the decorative piece including: a first printing layer printed using a transparent color ink, a matte ink, or a glossy ink, as an upper surface of the upper layer; and a second printing layer in which a fine line is printed using a transparent UV ink, on an upper surface of the first printing layer. It is desirable that the fine line of the second printing layer has a width of 0.1 mm to 0.25 mm.

A machine for the digital decoration of products with granular materials and the like, comprises: a basic frame; at least one supporting surface for supporting at least one product to be decorated associated with the basic frame; at least a first digital printing head adapted to apply at least a first layer of fluid adhesive material on the surface of the product to be decorated; a deposition component/device/unit/circuit or the like of a granular material on the first layer of adhesive material; a removal component/device/unit/circuit or the like of the excess granular material; at least a second digital printing head adapted to apply at least a second layer of fluid adhesive material on top of the granular material, the second printing head being positioned between the deposition component/device/unit/circuit or the like and the removal component/device/unit/circuit or the like.

A method is provided for manufacturing a panel. of the method may involve supplying a substrate having an upper side. A layer may be provided onto the upper side. The upper side may be irradiated so as to cure at least a part of the layer by irradiation, hence forming the panel. The layer may include a liquid coating on substantially the entire upper side and a substance which is digitally printed locally on the upper side. The substance and the liquid coating may cooperate such that either (1) the coating and the substance react with each other, whereas the substance is a liquid that is printed on the upper side before the coating is applied and wherein the substance and the coating have different surface tensions, or (2) the coating is non-curable or only curable to a limited extent by the irradiation, whereas the substance makes the coating curable by the irradiation at locations where they meet each other.

A mirror customization kit. The mirror customization kit includes a plurality of adhesive fasteners for securing a plurality of accessory attachments to a mirrored surface, allowing individuals to customize and personalize the appearance of the mirror. The accessory attachments may include a gift card pocket, rhinestones, static cling vinyl images, and a stackable image having multiple layers configured to be secured to the mirrored surface in a stacked arrangement in order to form a three-dimensional image. In one embodiment, the kit includes a base having a mirror thereon. One example base includes a card having a first panel hingedly connected to a second panel, wherein the mirror is disposed on an interior side of either one of the first panel or second panel.

The invention relates to a multilayer body with a carrier film, a partial reflective layer, arranged on the surface of the carrier film, which is at least partially transparent in a first area and opaque in a second area, a partial decorative layer, arranged on a surface of the carrier film and/or the side of the decorative layer facing away from the carrier film, which is present in a third area and not present in a fourth area,
wherein the first area overlaps the third area and the second area overlaps the third and the fourth areas.

The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing such a multilayer body, a security element with such a multilayer body and a security document with such a security element.

The present invention provides a process for manufacturing a decorative article, typically in the form of a sheet or web, by providing the substrate with a pore pattern layer which is then dried using a first energy curable water-based ink or coating composition which is essentially free of a curing or cross-linking agent and contains a repellant and subsequently applying a topcoat layer over the pore pattern layer using a second energy curable water-based ink or coating composition which is also essentially free of a curing or cross-linking agent.

A three-dimensional artwork device that provides a three-dimensional appearance for providing visual interest. The three-dimensional artwork includes a base layer having an upper surface having artwork thereon. One or more spacers are positioned on the base layer, and one or more art layers are positioned on the spacers. The art layers overhang the edges of the spacers so that the spacers are not visible to an observer. Multiple spacers and art layers can be stacked to provide additional depth. A plurality of LEDs is positioned on the base layer, and are preferably positioned adjacent to the spacers so that the LEDs are not visible by an observer.

A method and system for producing reliefs on substrates by digital inkjet printing of drops of a relief material which is deposited on localized areas of the surface of a substrate to obtain a relief surface with a relief determined by the relief material deposited, a coating sheet being incorporated over the relief material deposited, which conforms to said relief surface, the coating sheet being fixed by gluing by means of a glue which is applied together or in combination with the relief material.

Provided is a method of manufacturing an embossing die. The method comprises mounting a drum or a plate on a support, providing information on a shape of the embossing die, printing a multitude of photopolymer drops forming a photopolymer layer upon the drum or the plate based on the provided information, and curing the printed photopolymer layer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a reproduction of a painting, which can use different types of paintings as original paintings and reproduce the matiere of the original painting and which also improves the light stability of ink. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a reproduction of a painting, comprising: forming an irregularity-reproducing layer, which has irregularities reflecting the irregularities of the painting being an original painting, on a base sheet by use of a slurried mixture containing an organic binder, calcium hydroxide having a volume-based median diameter (d50), as measured by laser diffraction scattering, of 10 μm or less, and a water-insoluble inorganic powder having a volume-based median diameter (d50), as measured by laser diffraction scattering, of 5.0 μm or less; and printing the painting on the irregularity-reproducing layer by inkjet printing.
