Abstract

Obtaining a reference image of a natural stone; producing a first engineered stone slab which approximates an aspect of the reference image of the natural stone; performing an examination of the first engineered stone slab; using the reference image and results of the examination, to create a first masking image; and printing the first masking image onto the first engineered stone slab. Producing a second engineered stone slab which approximates the aspect of the reference image of the natural stone, wherein the first and the second engineered stone slabs provide different approximations, as caused by random variation in a manufacturing process; performing an examination of the second engineered stone slab to obtain results; using the reference image and results of the examination of the second engineered stone slab, to create a second masking image; and printing the second masking image onto the second engineered stone slab.
