Abstract: A decal assembly applied to a finished wood floor comprising a visible layer, a clear layer adhered to the visible layer, and a floor finish layer, wherein an outer surface of the floor finish has a coefficient of friction similar to the finished wood floor. The floor finish may be water-based or oil-based and the decal assembly may include an adhesion promotion layer disposed between the clear layer and the floor finish layer. The decal assembly may also include the clear layer having a roughened outer surface. The decal may be installed on a wood floor by laminating a clear layer to a visible layer, roughening an outer surface of the clear layer and applying a floor finish to the outer surface of the clear layer after the roughening step. An adhesion promotion layer may also be applied between the clear layer and the floor finish layer.

Abstract: A printing apparatus having an ink application unit applying a first ink containing at least resin as a solid content onto a discharge medium, a reaction liquid application unit applying a reaction liquid reacting with a component in the ink to aggregate the solid content in the first ink onto the discharge medium, and a liquid absorbing unit for bringing a liquid absorbing member of a porous body into contact with an ink image formed by the ink and the reaction liquid on the discharge medium to absorb liquid to thereby reduce the amount of the liquid in the ink image, in which a layer is formed with the first ink and the reaction liquid on the discharge medium, and then a test pattern utilized for detection is printed by applying a second ink different from the first ink to a part of the layer by the ink application unit.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a process for pre-coating substrates with copy a matrix surface by curable material for use in industrial printing systems and allowing the advantageous production of substrates ready for printing or finishing. It also refers to the machines necessary to its attainment, in particular those that allow the simultaneous coating of two opposite surfaces of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of laying up a segment on a layup surface using a layup head that is mobile with respect to the layup surface, the layup head supporting a spool of a tape of material which includes at least one layer to be laid up from which said segment is cut and at least one interliner, the method including applying the tape of material against the layup surface and removing the interliner using a separator. The tape of material is pressed firmly by a press roller against the layup surface before the interliner is removed as the layup head moves in an advancing movement. A layup head for implementing the method and a layup machine including the layup head are also described.

Abstract: In a method for printing a metal-tone printed matter, a metallic ink which includes metal particles dispersed in a solvent is applied onto a smooth printing surface of a printing medium to provide a metallic ink layer containing a metal layer having the metal particles accumulated on a printing surface side closer to the smooth printing surface in the metallic ink layer. The printing medium is reversed to transfer the metallic ink layer onto a material to be transferred while making a smooth surface of the metal layer as a display surface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of fabrication of a multilayer flexible metamaterial can be fabricated using flip chip transfer (FCT) technique. This technique is different from other similar techniques such as metal lift off process, which fabricates the nanostructures directly onto the flexible substrate or nanometer printing technique. It is a solution-free FCT technique using double-side optical adhesive as the intermediate transfer layer and a tri-layer metamaterial nanostructures on a rigid substrate can be transferred onto adhesive first. Another embodiment of the present invention is the fabrication method and apparatus that allows the transfer of the metamaterial from a rigid substrate such as glass, quartz and metals onto a flexible substrate such as plastic or polymer film. Thus, a flexible metamaterial can be fabricated independent of the original substrate used.
