Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printed paper sheet for manufacturing decorative panels, as well as to such decorative panels and items of furniture comprising such decorative panels.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such items of furniture.
  • More particularly the invention is related to a printed paper sheet that carries the digitally printed pattern for a plurality of such decorative panels.
  • printed paper sheets for the manufacturing of decorative panels are produced by rotogravure or offset printing. Such sheets comprise a continuous pattern with a repeat in the length direction of the paper sheet about every 1.3 to 1.5 meters.
  • a substrate such as to a chipboard or an MDF or HDF board
  • a large decorative laminate board is obtained that is cut up to a plurality of decorative panels. Each panel features a part of the printed pattern.
  • the cutting process can be controlled so as to produce as few scrap as possible. Items of furniture manufactured from such decorative panels look quite fake and the design of the individual panels cannot be controlled.
  • the present invention concerns a printed paper sheet for manufacturing decorative panels, wherein said paper sheet carries the digitally printed pattern for a plurality of said decorative panels, with as a characteristic that said plurality of said decorative panels comprises at least two panels of different size and in that predetermined, preferably distinct, portions of the paper sheet comprise the digitally printed pattern at least for said two decorative panels.
  • the method of the present invention allows to custom design the printed pattern of each of the decorative panels, while keeping the burden of manufacturing low. Indeed such paper sheet can be processed in the traditional laminate board manufacture plant, and can be cut up much alike the traditional laminate board.
  • the cutting scheme however needs to be adapted in accordance with the position of the predetermined portions of the printed pattern.
  • the predetermined portions are positioned so as to minimize the creation of scrap portions while cutting up.
  • Preferably said predetermined portions can be cut from the sheet by means of cuts parallel to the edges of the paper sheet only and/or by means of continuous cuts only.
  • cutting is normally carried out while the paper sheet is already adhered to a substrate to form a decorative laminate board.
  • a continuous cut it is meant a cut that completely separates a part from the board or from the remainder of the board, after other parts have already been cut off by way of continuous cuts only. Indeed, it should be noted that these cuts are not necessarily performed on the entirety of the laminate board, but possibly on already separated portions thereof.
  • the present preferred embodiment allows cutting up of the laminate board comprising the printed paper sheet of the invention in a convenient way using standard machinery.
  • said digitally printed pattern is a wood pattern.
  • stone patterns or fantasy patterns can be used as well.
  • the respective portions of the wood pattern are predetermined in that their size corresponds to the size of the respective decorative panel. Of course, preferably their size is somewhat larger to allow for tolerance while cutting up or further processing the decorative panels.
  • the respective portions of the wood pattern are predetermined in that the wood pattern depicts a central wood part bordered by several further wood parts such that the central wood part corresponds to the centre of the decorative panel and the several further wood parts correspond to the border of the decorative panel.
  • said predetermined portion preferably has a pattern adapted to the respective decorative panel.
  • a pattern adapted to the respective decorative panel For example, when use is made of the above mentioned central wood parts, such wood parts will be larger for a larger decorative panel, than it is for a smaller decorative panel.
  • the digitally printed pattern of the respective panels is free from repetition, even if one or both decorative panels have a dimension larger than 1,5 meter.
  • Preferably said predetermined portions are bordered by unprinted areas of the paper sheet or by areas that comprise a distinctly different printed pattern, such as a uniformly colored line or area.
  • Using such areas results in a cost saving, since the ink of digital inkjet printer are usually a lot more expensive than the inks of rotogravure or offset printers.
  • Such areas are also of interest to allow for an automatic detection of the position of the predetermined patterns, for example for cutting up the laminate board automatically.
  • Such areas especially when present as a stretched area extending over the entirety of the length or the width of the paper, enables to use several digital printers in the zones delimited by such areas, without having to worry about the seamless merging of patterns printed by several digital printers.
  • the printed paper sheet of the invention is preferably used for the manufacture of furniture panels. Especially for furniture the need to custom design individual decorative panels is high.
  • the invention also concerns a decorative panel, wherein said panel at least comprises a substrate and an attached thereto decor layer having a digitally printed pattern, with as a characteristic that said decor layer consists of a predetermined portion of a printed paper sheet carrying the digitally printed pattern of a plurality of such panels.
  • the decor layer is attached to the substrate using the so-called DPL process, wherein the paper sheet is provided with a thermosetting resin, such as with melamine formaldehyde, and attached to the substrate by using a heated press treatment, resulting in said adherence, as well as in a hardening of the available resin.
  • the invention also concerns an item of furniture, with as a characteristic that said item of furniture comprises a plurality of such decorative panels, wherein the decor layer of each of said plurality of decorative panels consists of a predetermined portion of the same printed paper sheet.
  • said item of furniture comprises a plurality of such decorative panels, wherein the decor layer of each of said plurality of decorative panels consists of a predetermined portion of the same printed paper sheet.
  • the invention concerns also a method for manufacturing an item of furniture, wherein the item of furniture is assembled from a plurality of decorative panels, at least comprising a substrate and a decor layer with a digitally printed pattern, with as a characteristic that the pattern of said plurality of decorative panels is printed on the same paper sheet by means of one or more digital printers.
  • a digital printer Preferably use is made of one or more single pass or multi pass printers. In the case more than one printer is applied, preferably the abovementioned stretched unprinted areas are put into practice.
  • pigment containing inks such as a UV curable ink, since such inks can warrant a high color richness and color fastness.
  • the present invention completely reverses the design of decorative panels and items of furniture. Indeed, in accordance with the prior art, the design of furniture was independent from the decorative laminate board. Decorative panels were simply cut out of such laminate board and the item of furniture was assembled. The present invention links the design with the layout of the print on the decorative laminate board. Indeed before digitally printing the paper sheet of the invention the design of the item of furniture should already be known, since the print features predetermined portions for these panels.
  • the decorative panels of the invention preferably comprise a wood based substrate, such as an MDF or HDF substrate (Medium of High Density Fiberboard) or a substrate consisting of or essentially made of wood particleboard.
  • a wood based substrate such as an MDF or HDF substrate (Medium of High Density Fiberboard) or a substrate consisting of or essentially made of wood particleboard.
  • the figure represents a printed paper sheet 1 for manufacturing decorative panels.
  • the paper sheet 1 carries the digitally printed pattern 2A-2B-2C-2D-2E-2F of a plurality of such panels, in this case of six panels, wherein the panels have at least two, in this case three different sizes.
  • Predetermined portions 3A-3B-3C-3D-3E-3F, in this case distinct portions, of the paper sheet 1 comprise the digitally printed patterns 2A-2B-2C-2D-2E-2F of the six respective decorative panels, in this case furniture panels.
  • the digitally printed patterns are wood patterns, wherein the upper depicted wood patterns 2A-2B are of the type having a central wood part 4 and several further wood parts 5 bordering the central wood part 4.
  • the predetermined portions 2A-2B-2C-2D-2E-2F of the print are in the example bordered by unprinted areas 6.
  • the unprinted areas 6 extend over the entirety of the length, respectively the width of the paper sheet 1.
  • the dash-dotted lines 7 make clear that said predetermined portions 2A-2B-2C-2D-2E-2F can be cut from the sheet by means of only cuts that are parallel to the edges 8 of the paper sheet 1 and are continuous.
  • the printed paper sheet 1 of the example may be further processed to a laminate board by attaching to a substrate, e.g. by impregnating it with a thermosetting resin before or after printing and sticking it to the substrate by means of a heated press treatment.
  • a structured press element may provide suitable relief in the surface of the laminate board.
  • Such relief may comprise indentations imitating wood pores.
  • such relief comprises indentations or impressions on the edges 9 of one or more of the depicted wood parts 4-5 and/or in between such adjacent wood parts 4-5.
