Disclosed is a method of producing a pattern for a decorative panel. The method includes applying a clear gel coat on a mold to form a clear layer. The clear layer is cured and then digitally printed with one or more inks so as to produce a pattern on the clear layer. Also disclosed is a decorative panel including a clear layer, an opaque layer and a pattern digitally printed on the clear layer, between the clear and opaque layers, such that the pattern is visible through the clear layer.

A sheet material for use as a dissolvable decal comprises a dissolvable paper or polymer layer whose dissolvability in water is enhanced using a temporary water barrier. In one embodiment, the sheet material comprises a dissolvable paper stock layer coated with the temporary water barrier layer in the form of an acrylate polymer. To create the decal, one or more ink layers are applied, either on top of the temporary water barrier, or between the temporary water barrier and a top face of the dissolvable paper stock. The sheet material also comprises a removable release liner comprising a sheet with a silicone release coating on one side. In use, the paper/plastic liner is removed and the resulting decal is then positioned on a vehicle. The decal remains on the vehicle, but it is ultimately removable under high pressure water conditions.

Disclosed is a touch window. The touch window includes a cover window; a first print layer disposed on the cover window to form an instruction icon pattern part; a second print layer in the instruction icon pattern part; and a reinforcement material on the second print layer.

A method for treating a panel of wood-based material to achieve an adhesive-free surface after a decoration (2) has been printed onto at least an upper side of the panel of wood-based material, is distinguished by the fact that a cellulose-free top layer (3) of melamine resin with mixed-in glass beads (5) is applied to the decoration (2), and this top layer (8) is dried before a wear-resistant layer (6) is applied to the top layer (8).

A laser-marked polymer workpiece is described. The workpiece has a transparent component and an opaque component applied to at least one region of the transparent component. A mark is introduced onto a surface of the opaque component facing the transparent component with at least one laser. The mark is introduced, via a laser, through the transparent component. The mark is a lightening of the surface of the opaque component on which the mark was introduced.

A method of forming a three-dimensional article includes sequentially forming a plurality of first two-dimensional layers and a second two-dimensional layer. The second two-dimensional layer includes a second outer edge and a second inner area within the boundary defined by the second outer edge. The second inner area includes uniform physical characteristic and a watermark area within the second inner area having a physical characteristic different from that of the second inner area. An article includes a body with an inner area having a physical characteristic. A watermark is within the inner area and has a physical characteristic different from the physical characteristic of the inner area.

An ink jet recording method includes layer forming which includes image recording which records an image by discharging an ink composition which contains water and coloring materials on a recording surface of a recording medium having low absorbency or non-absorbency to ink, and protective layer forming which forms a protective layer on the image by discharging a clear ink composition which contains resin particles and substantially does not contain a coloring material; and heating and drying which includes first heating which heats the recording surface at a glass transition temperature or more of the resin particles after the layer forming, and first drying which performs ventilation while heating the recording surface at a heating temperature or less of the recording surface in the first heating after the first heating, in which the drying time in the first drying is two times or more the heating time in the first heating.

Disclosed are a UV hardening composition having improved light resistance, a three dimensional film, and a method for manufacturing the three dimensional film. Particularly, the UV hardening composition having improved light resistance may be used in interior materials and the like for a vehicle which generally are substantially exposed to UV rays. In addition, the UV hardening composition may also be used for indoor electronic products. The UV hardening composition according to the present invention includes a urethane acrylate resin, a polyester acrylate resin, a UV absorber, a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), an antioxidant and the like. Further, the three dimensional film including the UV hardening composition may be advantageous due to the improvement in the carbon pattern three dimensional effect formed in the three dimensional film. Therefore, a comparable price and reduced weight of the three dimensional film for a vehicle interior material are available while maintaining the quality equivalent to a film to which an actual carbon fabric is used.

The invention relates to a substrate (30) coated on one face (31) with a multilayer of thin films (34) comprising at least one metal functional layer (140) based on silver or made of silver and two antireflective coatings (120, 160), the said antireflective coatings each comprising at least one antireflective layer (124, 164), the said functional layer (140) being disposed between the two antireflective coatings (120, 160), characterized in that the said metal functional layer (140) is a discontinuous layer having a surface area occupation factor in the range between 50% and 98%, or even between 53% and 83%.
