FREMGANGSMAATE FOR DANNELSE AV ET MOENSTER PAA ET PANEL

摘要

This relates to a method of decorating a panel having a multi-level pattern of ridges and recesses on a major surface thereof. This patterned major surface is coated with a liquid pigmented material and is thereafter rollingly contacted under pressure with a roll having a resilient surface. The resilient roll picks up liquid pigmented material from the higher portions of the pattern while at the same time the pigmented material which has been picked up from the panel surface is continually removed or cleaned from the roll surface. Thereafter, the pigmented material which remains on the panel surface is at least partially dried or cured. In the preferred form of the invention the panel surface has a layer of paper integrally combined therewith, the paper having a printed surface thereon which complements the multi-level surface pattern of the panel. The degree of pressure between the roll surface and the panel is such as to provide for a pick-up of sufficient of the pigmented material from the higher portions of the multi-level pattern as to expose the printed paper surface at the higher portions to view. A clear protective top coat is applied to the product. In the final product, relatively large amounts of pigment remain in the deeper valleys or recesses while little or no pigment is located on the higher ridges. Between these two extremes varying amounts of pigment remain. Thus, the embossed pattern stands out clearly and the apparent depth of pattern is relatively great. Furthermore, the underlying printed surface of the paper shows through at the higher ridges and thus the final product exhibits color variations on the higher ridges which in combination with the varying amounts of accent pigments on the lower surface portions provides a pleasing overall visual effect.
