Method of manufacturing a floor board

A method of manufacturing a panel having an upper surface with surface portions of varying thickness, comprising:

• supplying a panel;
• transporting said panel to a digital printing station;
• at said digital printing station, printing a liquid on said upper surface of said panel in a predefined pattern, wherein the predefined pattern substantially corresponds to a decorative basic pattern being present on the panel;
• transporting said panel to a powder spreading station;
• at said powder spreading station, combining a powder and said liquid by spreading said powder over said upper surface having said liquid, said predefined pattern of liquid comprising wet portions, wherein a first part of said powder sticks to said wet portions and a second part of said powder lays beside said wet portions;
• transporting said panel to a powder removing station;
• at said powder removing station, removing said second part of said powder, said first part of said powder together with said liquid being a curable substance;
• and
• curing said curable substance, wherein said first part of said powder adheres to said upper surface, wherein said curing creates an elevated surface portion on said upper surface at said predefined pattern of liquid, and wherein the powder comprises wear resistant particles, a swelling powder, a metallic resin powder, a lustrous resin powder, an anti-static powder, a pearlescent effect generating powder, a matte effect generating powder or an odour effect generating powder.
