Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of producing a defined three-dimensional texture on a textile, in which the texture is provided on a textile with a defined area and a defined height, the texture is formed with at least one texture layer, wherein the height and the area of the texture are adjusted by at least one defined height and at least one defined area of the at least one texture layer, at least one variable-volume ink is applied to the textile in the form of individual ink droplets, wherein a plurality of ink droplets are provided on the textile according to the area of the texture, and the applied ink droplets are activated, whereby a predefined volume increase of the ink droplets is produced and the at least one texture layer is formed on the textile. To provide the defined height of the at least one texture layer at least one defined distance between the applied ink droplets for the texture layer is adjusted, which distance is smaller than and/or equal to a diameter of activated ink droplets of the texture layer. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a three-dimensional texture for a textile with an area and a height, and at least one texture layer which is formed from at least one variable-volume ink in the form of individual ink droplets and which can be applied to the textile and can be activated for a defined volume increase. The ink droplets of the at least one texture layer are provided with at least a distance from each other that is smaller than or equal to the diameter of activated ink droplets.
