Abstract (en)
A decal comprises a backing layer, a release layer deposited thereon and at least one layer formed of heat processable melted thermoplastic ink deposited over the release layer. The decal may be manufactured by a method wherein the decal is printed with an offset rotogravure process utilizing solventless thermoplastic inks is disclosed. By controlling the temperature of the gravure rolls (42), the offset rolls (40) and the back-up rolls, (38), a continuous process is maintained which is capable of printing all layers of a decal without intermediate drying steps. In one embodiment the decal is a ceramic heat release decal especially suited for the manufacture of decorated tableware. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
