High-definition demetalization process

摘要

A method of producing images on a metalized substrate is described. The metalized substrate comprises a substrate having a top side and a bottom side and a metalized coating adhered to the top side of the substrate. The method comprises the steps of printing an image onto the metalized coating by selectively applying a protective coating of the image, curing the protective coating, applying a demetalizing solution onto the metalized substrate, rinsing the metalized substrate, drying the metalized substrate, applying an adhesive coating onto the metalized substrate, and removing the adhesive coating.
