Abstract
A process for coating a substrate comprising the sequential steps of (i) providing a transfer sheet provided with clear coat layer and a printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink on top of that, (ii) applying the transfer sheet onto the substrate with the coating in contact with the substrate, and (iii) curing the coating on the substrate.
Claims20
A process for coating a substrate comprising the sequential steps of
- providing a transfer sheet provided with a clear coat layer and a printed powder coating on top of the clear coat layer,
- applying the transfer sheet onto the substrate with the printed powder coating in contact with the substrate, and
- curing the printed powder coating on the substrate.
A process for coating a substrate comprising the sequential steps of
- providing a transfer sheet provided with a clear coat layer and a printed toner on top of the clear coat layer,
- applying the transfer sheet onto the substrate with the printed toner in contact with the substrate, and
- curing the printed toner on the substrate.
A process for coating a substrate comprising the sequential steps of
- providing a transfer sheet provided with a clear coat layer and a printed UV-curable ink on top of the clear coat layer,
- applying the transfer sheet onto the substrate with the printed UV-curable ink in contact with the substrate, and
- curing the printed UV-curable ink on the substrate.
A process for coating a substrate comprising the sequential steps of
- a) providing a first transfer sheet provided with a first printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink,
- b) applying the first transfer sheet onto the substrate,
- c) removing the first transfer sheet from the first printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink,
- d) optionally applying a second transfer sheet provided with a second printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink onto the previously coated substrate with the second printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink in contact with the previously coated substrate, followed by removal of the second transfer sheet from the second printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink,
- e) optionally repeating step d) one or more times,
- f) applying a final transfer sheet provided with a clear coat layer and a final printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink on top of the clear coat layer that onto the previously coated substrate with the final printed powder coating, toner, or UV-curable ink in contact with the previously coated substrate,
- g) optionally removing the final transfer sheet from the coating, and
- h) curing the coating on the substrate.
