Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the gilding of a substrate with the application of pressure between the zones of the substrate to be gilded and a gilding sheet comprising a gilding film and a transfer layer, characterized by the consecutive treatment of the gilded substrate, allowing the adhesion performance of the gilding sheet in relation to the substrate to be optimized while improving the visual quality of the gilding deposit on the substrate.
Claims14
A method for gilding a substrate comprising:
- a) in a first step, pressing a gilding foil against the substrate, wherein the gilding foil comprises a gilding film attached to a transfer layer, and pressing the gilding foil against the substrate detaches the gilding film from the transfer layer and deposits the gilding film on the substrate, and
- b) in a second, subsequent step, applying pressure to areas of the substrate covered by the deposited gilding film,
- wherein the pressure applied in the second step is independently adjustable relative to pressure applied in the first step.
A system for gilding a substrate comprising at least one gilding group which applies pressure between areas of the substrate to be gilded and a gilding foil comprising a gilding film and a transport layer, thereby coating the gilding film on the substrate, and at least one pressure group located downstream of the gilding group which applies pressure on areas of the substrate coated with the gilding film, wherein, the pressure applied by the at least one pressure group is independently adjustable relative to the pressure applied by the at least one gilding group.
