Sheet goods having a large repeat length and tile with numerous patterns

摘要

Sheet goods having extremely long repeat lengths and tiles having a large number of different visual patterns are formed by printing two different print patterns having different repeat lengths. The two different print patterns are printed on two films that are laminated together, or on a substrate, or one print pattern on a substrate and one print pattern on a transparent or translucent film that is laminated to the printed substrate.

主权项

1. A surface covering comprising:
two print layers printed from at least two cylinders, each of the cylinders having different circumferences and having different image dimensions; a first print layer forming a first printed pattern and a second print layer forming a second printed pattern, the first printed pattern having a different repeat length than the second printed pattern; wherein the first printed pattern migrates relative to the second printed pattern thereby increasing the variation of the surface covering when the first and second printed layers are joined together.
