INKJET PRINTING PARTIALLY IMAGED PANELS WITH SUPERIMPOSED LAYERS

摘要

A panel and method for making the panel are disclosed. The panel includes a substrate sheet partially imaged with a print pattern. The print pattern subdivides the panel into a plurality of discrete printed areas and/or a plurality of discrete unprinted areas. The design is superimposed on or forms a part of said print pattern. The design comprises a design layer. The print pattern includes a base layer. The print pattern includes elongate printed areas orientated lengthways in one direction. The design layer and base layer include inkjet printable ink in elongate ink deposits orientated lengthways in the one direction. The elongate ink deposits may have an aspect ratio of length:width greater than 1.5 : 1. The base layer may include white ink. The panel may be made using a digital inkjet cylindrical printer that prints the base layer during at least 10 revolutions of the cylinder.
