  • Patent number: 9782797
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a structured, at least partly optically transparent varnish surface on a surface of a substrate board, preferably of a wood material board, having a decoration. The steps of the method include applying a transparent or at least partly transparent varnish to an applicator roll thereby producing a structured varnish surface and transferring the structured varnish surface to a substrate board having a decoration. The varnish is applied to the applicator roll by a plurality of digitally controlled nozzles in a distribution defining a structure and/or is transformed on the applicator roll into a distribution defining a structure. Furthermore, a device for carrying out the method is described.

  • Publication number: 20150030817
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a panel, in particular a furniture or floor panel, wherein a decor, preferably a wood imitating decor, is applied to at least one surface of a plate-shaped substrate, and wherein the substrate or the decor is provided with an areal, three-dimensional structure. The method is substantially characterised in that to produce the structure, liquid and/or powdery application material is applied in a single layer or multiple layers to the substrate or the decor, in that the application material applied is solidified in regions by means of at least one digitally controllable device, and in that the device is controlled using structural data present in digital form.
