Methods and systems for plasma colouration and pigment fixation

Abstract

A system for coating an article comprising a pigment applicator adapted to apply a pigment and a plasma module. The plasma module adapted to generate a plasma region. At least one of a chemistry and precursor can be supplied to the plasma generated in the plasma region such that the plasma region can at least in part polymerise the at least one of a chemistry and precursor to form a plasma polymerised coating. The pigment can be fixed to the article by the plasma polymerised coating.
