Abstract

See full text

A method for scoring and, optionally, for applying a pigment solution to a substrate is provided herein. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate; applying a curable solution to the substrate with a digital ink jet printer; curing the applied curable solution to form a cured region; and applying a fluid for eroding the substrate to at least a portion of the substrate including the cured region. The fluid for eroding the substrate effectively removes portions of the substrate, which are not covered by the cured region, to form an eroded region of the substrate. In certain embodiments, a plurality of pigment solutions are then applied to at least a portion of the eroded region of the substrate with the digital ink-jet printer to form embellishments, decorative features, or designs in the eroded regions of the substrate.
