Abstract
A method of printing a decoration on a substrate includes applying an ink coating in a predetermined design on the substrate by inkjet printing. The ink coating is cured to form a cured ink coating, and a portion of the cured ink coating is trimmed. Residual ink particles generated by the trimming are cleaned off the substrate. A printed substrate includes a substrate and a decoration printed on the substrate. The decoration comprises at least one layer of an inkjet-printed ink coating free of a saw edge and having a thickness in a range from 1.5 μm to 5 μm.
