  • Method of producing decorative papers for laminated materials
    Patent number: 8182630
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a decorative paper for a laminated material. The method comprises the steps of scanning a sample of a natural material for generating a digital image (10, 11, 12, 13), constructing a decorative motif (15, 16, 17, 18) by means of computer-assisted processing of the digital image (10, 11, 12, 13), and generating the decorative paper by printing the decorative motif (15, 16, 17, 18). The invention suggests that the step of digital image processing involves adapting the scanned digital image (10, 11, 12, 13) to a reference image (14). The object of the invention is to provide a design technique that allows to offer an almost arbitrarily large variety of decors to the consumers at low production costs.
