METHOD OF MAKING A THERMOFORMED ARTICLE USING A PRE-PRINT DISTORTION

摘要

A thermoformed article carries an image. Using a first sheet (10) carrying- a grid image (12) and a mold having at least two cavities, a forming carrying a grid distortion pattern (16,18) for each cavity is made. An initial image (20,22) is computed for each cavity based on the corresponding grid distortion pattern (16,18) and a desired image. The initial images are applied to a second sheet (24). Using the second sheet (24) and the mold, at least two articles are made, each article carrying a distorted image that is substantially similar to the desired image.
