Method for applying a pattern of granular material on a receiving surface, comprising in sequence:
- arranging granular material on a transferring surface by projecting said granular material from a rotating device onto said transferring surface, said rotating device further collecting an excess of said granular material that was not kept by said transferring surface;
- wherein the arranging further comprises, before the projecting, applying a liquid on the transferring surface according to a prefiguration of the pattern by means of an inklet device;
- facing said transferring surface to said receiving surface and causing a pattern of granular material to be detached from said transferring surface and transferred onto said receiving surface;
- wherein said collecting comprises moving said excess into surface recesses of said rotating device along a path underlying said rotating device.
