Abstract

La présente invention a pour objet d'atténuer des défauts de transfert pouvant survenir lors de l'impression d'une image à jet d'encre comprenant une région facile à détacher sur une boîte à l'aide d'un moyen de transport d'image de type à circulation. Ce procédé de fabrication d'une boîte imprimée comprend : une étape d'impression destinée à l'impression d'une image à jet d'encre comprenant une région facile à détacher sur un moyen de transport d'image de type à circulation ; et une étape de transfert destinée au transfert, sur une boîte à imprimer, de l'image à jet d'encre imprimée sur le moyen de transport d'image. L'objectif ci-dessus est atteint par liaison de la région facile à détacher dans l'image à jet d'encre à une autre région.
