Abstract
The present invention relates to a heating article (1) which includes a substrate (2) having two opposite surfaces (21, 22), at least one of which is opaque, and a heat-stable coating (3) arranged on said opaque surface (21). According to the invention, the heat-stable coating (3) includes an at least two-colour decoration (31) having continuous tones and being provided in the form of a continuous or discontinuous layer, and the heating article has been cured at a temperature of more than 300° C. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such an article (1).
Claims30
A heating article comprising a substrate having two opposite sides, wherein one of the sides is at least opaque, and a heat-stable coating arranged on said opaque side, wherein said heat-stable coating comprises an at least a two-color decoration in continuous tones having the form of one of a continuous or discontinuous layer, and in that said article has undergone a curing at a temperature higher than 300° C.
A method for manufacturing a heating article including the following steps:
- a) providing of a substrate comprising two opposite sides, wherein one of the sides is at least opaque;
- b) applying a heat-stable coating on said opaque side, which comprises the following steps:
- b1) a step of applying on said opaque side a composition of decoration, to form a moist layer of decoration covering at least partially said opaque side;
- b2) a heat treatment of solidifying said moist layer of decoration, to form a decoration having the form of one of a continuous or discontinuous layer covering at least partially said opaque side,
- wherein the composition of the layer of decoration comprises at least two different color components and is applied by ink jet printing, and
- wherein the heat treatment of solidifying the moist layer of decoration is achieved at a temperature equal to or higher than 300° C.
