A method for manufacturing a coated panel having at least a substrate and a decorative top layer provided on the substrate, the method comprising:
- providing the substrate having a print layer with a pattern;
- applying a plurality of prints on the substrate to form at least a portion of the top layer, such that the plurality of prints form a structure on the substrate that includes at least one protrusion formed by two or more prints provided on top of each other;
- wherein each of the two or more prints provided on top of each other includes a colorant;
- wherein the print layer forms a continuous layer underlying a plurality of the protrusions;
- and
- providing a transparent layer or a translucent layer on top of the plurality of prints.
A method for manufacturing a panel having a substrate and a decorative top layer provided on the substrate, the method comprising:
- providing the substrate having a print layer with a pattern;
- applying a first print on the substrate;
- subsequently applying a second print on the substrate, such that at least a portion of the second print is provided on top of the first print to form a protrusion on the print layer;
- wherein the first and the second prints form at least a portion of the decorative top layer;
- wherein each of the first print and the second print includes a colorant;
- and
- providing a transparent layer or a translucent layer on top of the first and the second prints.
