FIELD: printing equipment.
SUBSTANCE: method for making a decorative surface coating with a printed decorative pattern includes printing, preferably using a rotogravure printing method, a first repeating pattern component using at least one first cylinder and a second repeating pattern component using at least one second cylinder, wherein the printed decorative pattern is obtained by combining at least first and second repeating pattern components. Said at least one first cylinder has a circumferential length different from circumference of said at least one second cylinder, wherein first and second repeating pattern components have different spatial periods that are not multiple of each other. Difference of spatial periods of pattern components results in that printed decorative pattern has larger spatial period than spatial periods of pattern components. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a surface coating obtained using the disclosed method.
EFFECT: disclosed is a method of making a surface coating with a printed decorative pattern.
