Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and equipment to form a digital print by applying dry colorants on a surface of a panel, bonding a part of the colorants with a binder and removing the non-bonded colorants from the surface. The method of forming a digital print on a surface of a panel includes displacing the panel under a digital drop application head, applying a liquid binder with the digital drop application head on the surface; applying colorants on the liquid binder and the surface; bonding a part of the colorants to the surface with the liquid binder; removing non-bonded colorants from the surface such that a digital print is formed by the bonded colorants; and applying heat and pressure on the panel, the surface and the bonded colorants such that the colorants are permanently bonded to the surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of forming a digital print on a surface, the method comprising forming several layers of digital prints, wherein each layer is formed by: applying a liquid substance with a digital drop application head on the surface in a pattern; applying a dry powder on the liquid substance and the surface, the dry powder comprising colorants and a binder; bonding a part of the dry powder to the surface using the liquid substance in the pattern of the l…
