This invention relates to a surface finish manufacturing system and process and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a contrast surface finish manufacturing system and process for producing boards with a wood texture finish. The surface finish manufacturing system comprises a top layer and a bottom layer where part of the top layer is removed to expose part of the bottom layer.

Floor panels that includes a substrate and a multi-layered top layer directed attached to the substrate. The multi-layered top layer includes a décor layer that includes a fused PVC plastisol, a print pattern deposited as single or stacked dots of a digitally printed material on top of the décor layer, a wear-resistant layer including a fused PVC plastisol provided above the print pattern. Optionally, a lacquer layer is provided directly on top of the wear-resistant layer.

A pressing element for manufacturing laminate panels includes a metal plate with at least two sections that exhibit a surface structure suitable for forming a structure on one of the laminate panels, and having a first zone. The pressing element has separate markings for orienting the first zone, and/or in that the surface structure is obtained by way of etching, whereas the first zone is provided with a chamber by means of a milling operation, and/or in that the surface structure defines a lowest point and a highest point. The first zone includes a first chamber located at a depth below the highest point and at most 0.3 mm below the lowest point.

The device for hot stamping a part of a vehicle body is provided. The device includes a strip including a carrier film and a decorative film; at least one motorized arm capable of moving; at least one head mounted movably in rotation on one end of the arm, the head comprising pressure means capable of applying pressure on the strip; and means for unwinding the strip in front of the head.

The current invention concerns coverings such as a floor covering, wall covering or ceiling covering, said covering comprising at least one substrate and at least one surface layer, said surface layer comprising a print pattern and a wear layer, whereby said print pattern is directly applied to said substrate, and further concerns a method to produce such coverings.

Ceramic tile having a ceramic base layer and a cover glaze layer including a printed pattern, where the surface of the ceramic tile has a relief having structural features corresponding to the printed pattern. The relief being basically formed as a plurality of excavations present in the generally plane upper surface of the ceramic tile and the structural features have a depth such that they are completely situated above the ceramic base layer.
