Double image overprint carpet components and methods of making same

A floor covering comprising:

• a plurality of carpet components positioned to define abutting portions, wherein each of the carpet components comprises:
• a carpet substrate having a texture pattern comprising an unpredictable combination of a plurality of adjacent design elements defined by one or more of (a) different loop height of the carpet substrate, (b) different cut pile height of the carpet substrate, or (c) selective cut and uncut tufts of the carpet substrate, wherein each of the plurality of adjacent design elements defines a design and a boundary and wherein at least a first one of the plurality of design elements of the texture pattern shares a boundary with at least one adjacent design element of the texture pattern and wherein the unpredictable combination of the plurality of design elements of the texture pattern intersect at least two opposite edges of the carpet component and are arranged so that a design of the first design element of the texture pattern is not predictable from a design of the at least one adjacent design element of the texture pattern, and wherein the carpet substrate has a plurality of repeats of the texture pattern;
• an overprint printed onto the carpet substrate, wherein the overprint comprises a plurality of adjacent design elements and wherein at least a first one of the plurality of design elements of the overprint shares a boundary with at least one adjacent design element of the overprint and wherein the design elements of the overprint are, at least along the two opposite edges of the carpet component, arranged so that a design of the first design element of the overprint is predictable from a design of the adjacent design element of the overprint, and wherein the relationship between the texture pattern of the carpet substrate and the overprint is not in register, and wherein the overprint of adjacent carpet components are in alignment along at least some of the abutting portions of the carpet components.
