METHOD OF FORMING THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES IN COATINGS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B44C1/24 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: fluid coating composition when forming a first layer is applied on a substrate and first layer in non-solidified state is in contact with a die, having a surface with raised elements so that raised elements of die form recesses in first layer, die is removed, and optionally first layer, having recesses, is coated with a second coating composition when forming a second layer. At least one of coating compositions contains flake-form effect pigments. Die is a printing plate for a relief printing process and is a letterpress printing plate, a letterset printing plate or a flexographic printing plate, recesses in first layer are not deeper than 10 mcm and layer (s) is (are) solidified.

EFFECT: disclosed is a method of forming three-dimensional images in coatings which contain flake-form effect pigments, as well as obtained coatings, use of articles having such coatings.
