摘要

Producing a decorated thermoplastic part comprises injection molding the part (3), partially cooling to solidify it, opening the mold (2) to expose surface of the part, placing flexible support (4) bearing an ink-based design (6) against the presentation surface while the surface is at a temperature above the minimum ink transfer temperatures, and cooling and separating part from the support.
