摘要

A method for decorating a substrate with hot-stamping foil comprising of the steps of: a) applying an ink composition comprising a cationically radiation-curable cycloaliphatic epoxide to the substrate in a predetermined design, said ink being operable when cured to bond to the substrate, b) curing the ink on the substrate by exposure to the radiation by which it is curable, thereby bonding the ink composition to the substrate, c) pressing a sheet of hot stamping foil against the substrate with a compress heated to a temperature sufficient to cause a portion of the hot stamping foil to adhere to the heated, cured ink design but not to the ink-free areas of the substrate, and d) removing the die, thereby leaving behind a portion of the foil adhered to the ink design.
