Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a printed paper layer. The method may involve providing the paper layer with a printed pattern. Providing the printed pattern may involve depositing water based inks using a digital inkjet printer. The water based inks may be pigment containing inks. The dry weight of the deposited pigment containing inks may be lower than 9 grams per square meter. The paper layer may include an inkjet receiver coating, such that the inks are deposited on the inkjet receiver coating. The total volume of the deposited pigment containing inks may be less than 15 milliliter.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing rectangular panels, wherein the panels have a substrate and a top layer. The panels are provided with a first pair of opposite edges, namely a first edge, and an opposite second edge. The method includes the steps of applying a liquid on at least a part of the first edge. The liquid penetrates the respective edge to a certain depth. The method further includes applying varnish on at least a part of the first edge while the liquid on the first edge is still wet.

Abstract: A use of dicyandiamide is provided as a modifier in a melamine-formaldehyde resin for use in a floor panel including a substrate and a top layer. The top layer defines an upper surface of the floor panel. The floor panel is provided with embossments extending from the upper surface, such that the thickness of the floor panel varies along a cross-section of the floor panel. The top layer has a modified melamine-formaldehyde resin including formaldehyde and melamine in an F/M molar ratio within the range of from 1.60 to 1.80, and at least one modifier, thereby providing a floor panel having improved transparency at the embossments.

Abstract: A sheet includes a support layer and a coating layer on a side of the support layer. The coating layer is partially cured. The coating layer has carbon-carbon double bonds. The relative amount of carbon-carbon double bonds is higher at the surface of the coating layer than at the contact surface of the coating layer with the support layer. Methods are disclosed to manufacture such sheets; and to produce a decorative panel using such sheets.

Abstract: A coated panel has at least a substrate and a top layer applied thereto, The top layer includes at least a decor layer and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The above-mentioned wear layer has a thermally cured acrylate resin or a thermally cured unsaturated polyester resin. Thermal curing partially or completely cures the resin. The acrylate resin or unsaturated polyester resin is at least partially cured by a thermally initiated radical crosslinking reaction. A method for the production of such coated panels, in particular floor panels, is provided according the aforementioned coated panel.
