| 20090145314 | Intaglio Printing Methods, Apparatuses, and Printed or Coated Materials Made Therewith - Intaglio printing methods and apparatuses are disclosed, involving the use of a curable resin composition (e.g., curable by actinic radiation). The composition may be applied to a substrate, such as a printable material, at a depth of 250 μm or more, in order to create a desirable, three-dimensional effect. To produce this type of printed or coated substrate, the composition is first transferred to cells or recesses, having a depth of these dimensions, onto a printing surface (e.g., a gravure cylinder) and then at least partially cured. The at least partially cured composition is then transferred to the substrate (e.g., paper or plastic) where additional curing may occur, to produce the final printed or coated article. | 06-11-2009 |
