Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0184596A1] The invention relates to a method of printing a substrate in a pattern with a viscous mass in the form of a foam using a screen printing machine. In order to provide new structures, especially in combination with the printing of fibrous webs, the invention is characterized in that the foam used has meta-stable foam properties. Meta-stable means that no liquid is settled after 24 hours standing at 20 DEG C.
