(57) According to a method for manufacturing means for making embossed decoration patterns
on ceramic tiles, a die (M), defining a predetermined decoration pattern, is machined
on a plate (3) of gummy material, by computer controlled laser. Then, the plate (3)
is removably mounted on a punch (40) of a press (4) and a series of sample tiles (1)
is press-died. In case of a satisfying result, the production is started by the same
punch (40) with the plate (3); otherwise, the corrections are made and other proofs
are performed until the final decoration pattern is obtained; it is possible to start
the production with the die (M) defining the final decoration pattern. When the die
(M) is worn out, the plate (3) is replaced with another one carrying a new die (M),
likewise obtained by laser technique.
