METHOD OF FABRICATING HIGH-GLOSS LIQUI-FINISH ARTWORK PRINTS

摘要

A method of fabricating a high-gloss liqui-finish artwork print which comprises the steps of cutting to size a rigid backing material for receiving a printed image paper sheet on a flat surface thereof. The image paper sheet is secured on the surface to create an artwork product. The contour edge of the backing material is treated as per a certain requirement. The backing material with the laminated image paper sheet and the treated contour edge is then transferred to a dust-free and ventilated workspace where there are virtually no air borne contaminants. A coat of clear self-leveling lacquer is deposited on at least the laminated paper sheet of the artwork product. The lacquer coated artwork product is maintained dormant for a period of time sufficient to permit the lacquer to level off and substantially all air bubbles trapped therein to escape. The artwork product is cured under UV lighting for a predetermined period of time to effect complete curing.
