PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, material, and system for texturizing mold surfaces.SOLUTION: In a method and system, a first step includes generating a graphics file of a desired texture pattern. The graphics file is subsequently output to an inkjet printer, which is configured to print using an acid-etch resist ink. The acid-etch resist ink is formulated to provide optimal properties for inkjet printing, while also providing excellent acid-etch resist and superior handling properties. The acid-etch resist ink 20 is printed onto a sheet of a carrier substrate 18 that allows the acid-etch resist to be transferred to a mold 20 surface, after which the mold 20 surface is etched with a strong acid. |
