METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PANELS HAVING A DECORATIVE SURFACE

摘要

Panels having a decorative surface may include a substrate and a top layer, and the top layer may include a paper layer having a printed pattern. A method for manufacturing such panels may involve providing the paper layer with at least a portion of the printed pattern. Providing the portion of the printed pattern may involve depositing pigment containing inks on the paper layer using a digital inkjet printer. The pigments may be color pigments. The digital inkjet printer may include print heads with nozzles for firing the pigment containing ink onto the paper layer. The dry weight of the total volume of the pigment containing inks deposited on the paper layer and contained in the portion of the printed pattern may be lower than 15 grams per square meter.
