Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of making a plastics article bearing a printed image, the method comprising printing an image onto a carrier material by means of a digital imaging technique, and forming the article by an injection moulding process involving in-mould decoration to produce an article with the carrier material and image incorporated therein. The method of the invention can enable the production of moulded plastics articles with photographic quality or near photographic quality decoration by use of a digital imaging technique, e.g. thermal dye transfer printing, ink jet printing and electrophotography, to produce the image. Such techniques print good quality images and are more versatile than the printing techniques of the prior art. Images can typically be printed quickly and easily using a digital imaging technique, enabling articles bearing a short-run or one-off image to be produced.
