Abstract: In a system for the application of a decorative layer made of a beam-curable coating mass, in particular out of lacquer, glue, adhesive or a mixture of some or all thereof (lacquer and glue, lacquer and adhesive, glue and adhesive, or lacquer, glue and adhesive), on a carrier-plate and/or a web-formed substrate, where the decorative-layer will be treated so long with high-energy radiation particularly UV-radiation, x-ray-radiation, laser-radiation and/or electron radiation, under the maintenance of a certain temperature at normal pressure, so that it will be crosslinked and/or polymerized until the decorative-layer has reached a desired hardness, it is provided, that the decorative layer, which has to be cured, as a shield against the influence of oxygen on one side, it will be covered by the from the substrate formed carrier-plate and on the other side, it will be covered by a foil, for example by a carrier foil, that the radiation of the decorative layer with high-energy, take place in an inert gas-free atm
