Abstract: A glass-mounted image, proof against the effects of oxidation, which can be viewed with different effects from the front or from the rear includes a transparent base and a pattern layer. The transparent base includes a front surface and a rear surface and the pattern layer is formed on the rear surface. The pattern layer is formed by inkjet printing UV-curable ink and curing the ink and the pattern layer is a fogged surface in contrast with the opposing smooth and polished appearance seen through the glass from the other side.

Abstract: A transfer film providing a textured finish to the surface of a glass object comprises a color ink layer, a texture layer attached to a surface of the ink layer, a metal layer attached to a surface of the texture layer opposite from and contacting the ink layer, and an adhesive layer attached to a surface of the metal layer opposite from and contacting the texture layer. A transfer sticker and a glass product using the transfer film are also provided.

Abstract: A method of fabricating three-dimensional patterns on a workpiece includes steps of providing a transparent film and forming a three-dimensional patterns on the transparent film. A layer of adhesive is coated on the three-dimensional patterns. A heat transfer film is used in transferring the three-dimensional patterns from the heat transfer film to a main surface of the workpiece using a vacuum heat transfer printing method.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an oxidation-resistant glass-mounted photograph includes steps of providing a transparent base, the transparent base includes a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface. A UV inkjet printer sprays UV-curable glue onto the rear surface of the transparent base to form a bonding layer, and an electronic file of a pattern layer is installed into the UV inkjet printer, a layer of UV-curable ink on the bonding layer is printed on the bonding layer using the UV inkjet printer according to the electronic file of the pattern layer. The layer of UV-curable ink is cured to form the pattern layer providing a representation of a desired image.

Abstract: A glass-mounted photograph includes a transparent plate with front and rear surfaces. A bonding layer is formed on the rear surface, and a pattern layer is formed on the bonding layer, the pattern layer being made from UV curable ink to present a picture that could have been photographed. The pattern layer of the oxidation-resistant glass-mounted photograph 100 is formed by spray printing color UV ink on the free surface of the bonding layer, when the UV ink is cured, the pattern layer is firmly formed on the surface of the transparent plate, and the pattern layer is an UV ink layer, the pattern layer 16 has an advantage of permanent preservation, and not become yellow as time goes on.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an imitation metallic decoration on an article includes providing a base layer with a first surface, applying a texture layer on the first surface; the texture layer including a second surface facing away from the first surface, and applying a complete metallic ink layer on the second surface. Hereby, a plastic article can be given a metallic appearance to match that, for example, of an actual metal used as another cover of the article.

Abstract: A decoration glass includes a transparent base made of glass, the transparent base having a decoration surface; a decoration pattern layer adhered to the decoration surface by an adhesive layer, the decoration pattern layer being made of UV curing ink; and a coating layer deposited on the decoration pattern layer. A method to form a decoration glass is also provided.
