  • Methods and systems for inkjet painting of surfaces, especially exterior aircraft surfaces
    Patent number: 12454140
    Abstract: Methods and systems for painting surfaces (especially vehicle surfaces such as exterior aircraft surfaces) are provided whereby an applied basecoat layer may be treated with plasma (e.g., a non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma) or laser radiation so as to form a treated basecoat layer which exhibits a decreased contact angle and an increased wetting energy as compared to the contact angle and wetting energy of the basecoat layer which is untreated. At least one inkjet printed color layer may be applied onto the treated basecoat layer followed by the application of a clearcoat protective layer over the one or more inkjet printed color layers.
    Type: Grant
