Abstract

See full text

An underprinted inlaid sheet material having unique design effects comprising: (a) a substrate, (b) a first layer of a resinous polymer composition, (c) a pattern or design, printed on the surface of the first layer and having two or more distinguishably different colored, printed portions, and (d) a second layer of a resinous polymer composition, overlying the surface of the printed first layer, in contact therewith, and containing a plurality of variously colored transparent, transluscent and/or opaque particles, substantially, uniformly dispersed throughout said second layer. The particle colors, which can be similar to, analogous to and, in a preferred embodiment, in contrast with the colors of the underprinted pattern or design, are selected in such a manner that, when the finished product is viewed, the colors of the underprinted pattern or design show through the transparent or transluscent areas of the second layer, and combine with the colors of the particles to produce varying shades of colorations which differ from one area to another and are different from the colors of the underprint. The resulting sheet material product exhibits an inlaid appearance with the illusion of three-dimensional depth.
