Abstract

A method of printing a color image of an image file onto a substrate using a digital printer may involve, at a first point in time: a) printing a plurality of color samples in a number of different colors on a substrate; and b) generating a first characteristic curve for each color, and storing the first characteristic curves in a primary file. The method may involve, at a second point in time: c) repeating the printing of a) using the same colors and the same type of substrate; d) generating a new characteristic curve for each color, and storing the new characteristic curves in a secondary file; e) adapting the image file using the secondary file, or e′) adapting the printer's settings using the secondary file.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a decorative substrate for decorative panels may involve providing a master image. The master image may be printed on a first printable substrate using an inkjet printer, thereby obtaining a first decorative substrate. A printing defect may be evaluated in the first decorative substrate. An error correction operation may be performed on the master image on the basis of the evaluation. A corrected master image may be printed on a second printable substrate to obtain a second decorative substrate. The error correction operation may involve adding an intentional defect to the corrected master image.

Abstract

In order to reduce the storage cost and production time for decorative papers, according to the invention a paper structure having no filler or little filler is used, which can be adjusted to the requirements of the decorative paper to be produced by applying an individual filler composition. As a result, storage is required only for the paper structure, which can basically be referred to as a "universal paper", and the ingredients of the filler composition, or a filler composition that is already pre-mixed, whereby the storage cost is reduced and the availability of a corresponding starting material for the production process can be quickly assured.
