  • Publication number: 20050052516
    Abstract: A laminate panel especially well suited to help form an overhead stowage bin door on an aircraft, wherein the door includes a portion of a high contrast color advertising mural or message integrally formed therewith. The door includes a honeycomb support layer on which at least one fiberglass pre-preg layer is formed. A polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film is used as a substrate for the color mural or message. A ultraviolet (UV) curable ink is deposited directly on the PVF film via an ink jet printing process that produces a high color density, high color contrast image. The PVF film in one form is a Tedlar® PVF film. The ink is cured virtually immediately after it is deposited on the PVF film. An additional layer of PVF film is then secured to a side of the printed-on PVF film opposite to that on which the ink is deposited via a layer of embossing resin to form the laminate panel.
