Abstract
A method of decorating a substrate comprises the steps of supplying a substrate, supplying a carrier, providing the carrier with a textured surface, applying a sublimation agent on the carrier, placing the substrate and the carrier including the textured surface and the sublimation agent onto each other, pressing the substrate and the carrier together and subliming the sublimation agent towards the substrate, removing the carrier from the substrate, wherein the textured surface of the carrier is provided by applying a pattern of a hard substance on the carrier.

A method of decorating a substrate, comprising:
- supplying a substrate,
- supplying a carrier,
- providing the carrier with a textured surface,
- applying a sublimation agent on the carrier,
- placing the substrate and the carrier including the textured surface and the sublimation agent onto each other,
- pressing the substrate and the carrier together and subliming the sublimation agent towards the substrate,
- removing the carrier from the substrate,
- wherein the textured surface of the carrier is provided by applying a pattern of a hard substance on the carrier, wherein during pressing the substrate and the carrier together, the pattern of the hard substance impresses an upper surface of the substrate, and
- wherein the substrate is supplied in the form of a stack of layers, and pressing the substrate and the carrier together and subliming the sublimation agent towards the substrate synchronously laminates the stack of layers.
