Abstract
A multi-layer laminate may include a substrate, a printed build layer adjacent the substrate and defining a texture having elevated areas and areas of relief, a printed image layer adjacent the build layer, and a coating layer having a mineral loading and a method for creating a textured laminate may include steps to cause the printed image to be in registration with the texture.
Claims20
A multi-layer laminate, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a printed build layer adjacent the substrate and defining a texture having elevated areas and areas of relief;
- a printed image layer adjacent the build layer;
- and a coating layer having a mineral loading.

A method for producing a multi-layer additive texture high definition image, comprising:
- constructing a build layer, the build layer comprising one or more build levels, each of the build levels comprising a surface of one or more heights, the heights being varied and corresponding to an image property in an image, the layering of each build level resulting in a three dimensional textured surface;
- printing an image layer comprising a copy of the image onto the build layer.
A computer implemented method for creating a high definition textured laminate, comprising:
- receiving a laminate image;
- assigning a build value to each of the one or more image properties in the laminate image, the build values comprising a texture specific to the laminate image;
- printing one or more build levels onto a sheet of a core substrate to create a build layer, each build level having one or more heights, each height registering a difference in one of the one or more image properties;
- printing the laminate image onto the build layer such that it substantially aligns to the texture.
