Method for producing a decorated profile body

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a decorated profile body, comprising the steps: preparing a substrate; applying a decoration base; and applying a decoration finish covering the decoration base at least in segments, wherein the decoration base and the decoration finish together form a decoration of the profile body. In order to prevent a metameric effect from occurring during appropriate use of the profile body, according to the invention, the decoration base comprises a color structure from an expanded color space relative to the decoration finish, wherein the color structure of the decoration base is selected such that substantially no metameric effect occurs between the decoration of the profile body and a reference decoration similar thereto, preferably identical thereto.

1 . A method for producing a decorated profile body ( 1 ), comprising the steps of: providing a substrate ( 2 ); applying a decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ); and applying by means of the digital printing process a decoration finish ( 6 ) which covers the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ) at least in some sections, wherein the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ) and the decoration finish ( 6 ) together form a decoration of the profile body ( 1 ), wherein the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ) has a color composition consisting of an expanded color space compared to the decoration finish ( 6 ), wherein the color composition of the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ) is selected in such a way that essentially no metamerism effect occurs between the decoration of the profile body ( 1 ) and a reference decoration which is similar, preferably identical, thereto. 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ) contains differently colored base layers ( 4 ,  5 ). 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein a translucent or transparent substance is applied at least in some sections as the decoration finish ( 6 ). 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the decoration finish ( 6 ) is radiation-cured. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the decoration finish ( 6 ) has a color composition selected from the CMYK color space. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to an  claim 1 , wherein the substrate ( 2 ) is made from a polymeric material. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the substrate ( 2 ) is an extruded or calendered profile, preferably an edgebanding profile, a wall connection profile, a window profile or a roller shutter profile, or a film. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) is single-colored. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) is colored in a dark shade. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) is colored in a light shade, preferably white. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ), preferably the base layer ( 5 ) directly adjacent to the decoration finish ( 6 ), is colored in a shade corresponding to the basic shade of the reference decoration. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) is applied by means of the digital printing process, preferably by means of inkjet printing process. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) contains a solvent-based ink, a radiation-curable ink, preferably a UV-curable ink, and/or a water-based ink. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) is applied over the entire surface and/or in a covering manner. 
     
     
         15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one base layer ( 4 ,  5 ) is applied in such a way that at least one depression ( 51 ) and at least one raised area ( 52 ) is formed. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the decoration finish ( 6 ) is applied essentially in the region of at least one depression ( 51 ) of a base layer ( 5 ). 
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the decoration finish ( 6 ) is applied in such a way as to substantially fill the depression ( 51 ). 
     
     
         19 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the decoration finish ( 6 ) behaves inversely to the thickness of the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ), so that the decoration background ( 4 ,  5 ) and the decoration finish ( 6 ) are applied with a constant overall thickness. 
     
     
         20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . (canceled) 
     
     
         22 . An object ( 8 ) comprising a profile body ( 1 ) which is produced by the method according to  claim 1 , wherein the object ( 8 ) has the reference decoration.
