A decorative simulated ceramic tile comprises a substrate having a surface coated with an under-coat effective to provide a colored, printable base; an inked layer comprising a layer of colored ink lines of a silicone-containing drying ink forming a printed pattern on said printable base, said printed pattern being clearly visible; and a coloring pigment-containing top coat of a hard resinous, film-forming material; said top coat having a variable height thickness defining a contour of valleys, hills and plains, wherein the intensity of color in the top coat varies with the variation in the contour, the said valleys occurring over said ink lines such that the color of the ink is not obscured, and the hills lying adjacent said ink lines, said color in the top coat providing a contrast with the color in the under-coat and with the color in the printed pattern.
