Abstract
A heating article includes a substrate having two opposite surfaces, at least one of which is opaque, and a heat-stable coating arranged on the opaque surface. The heat-stable coating includes an at least two-color decoration having continuous tones and being provided in the form of a continuous or discontinuous layer. A method for manufacturing such an article includes applying a decoration composition on the opaque surface of the article to form a moist decoration layer, and then heating the moist decoration layer to form a decoration having the form of one of a continuous or discontinuous layer.
Claims13
A method for manufacturing a heating article including the following steps:
- a) providing a substrate comprising two opposite sides, wherein at least one of the sides is opaque;
- b) applying a heat-stable coating on said opaque side, which comprises the following steps:
- b1) a step of applying directly on said opaque side of the substrate, which is formed from a constitutive material of the substrate itself or from an opaque sub-layer, a decoration composition, to form a moist decoration layer covering at least partially said opaque side;
- b2) a solidification heat treatment of said moist decoration layer, to form a decoration having the form of one of a continuous or discontinuous layer covering at least partially said opaque side,
- wherein:
- the decoration composition comprises at least two different color components and is applied by ink jet printing,
- the decoration layer is in continuous tones, and
- the solidification heat treatment of the moist decoration layer is achieved at a temperature equal to or higher than 300° C.
