Decorative film

[Object] To provide a laminate having inorganic nanoparticle-containing surface layer that exhibits a low gloss appearance and inorganic nanoparticle-containing radiation-curable ink. [Resolution Means] A laminate of an embodiment of the present disclosure has a substrate and a surface layer containing a cured product of a radiation-curable ink, the radiation-curable ink containing inorganic nanoparticles, a polyether-modified polymer, and at least one selected from the group consisting of a radiation-curable polymerizable oligomer and a radiation-curable polymerizable monomer, and the surface layer having a 60° surface glossiness of 50.0 GU or less.

Adhesive sheets that can adhere to both a smooth surface and a rough surface with sufficient adhesive force and that exhibits smooth visual appearance after adhesion regardless of a surface to be applied are described. In particular, adhesive sheets including a rigid sheet having a thickness of 80 μm or greater and 2 mm or less; and a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer disposed on one surface of the rigid sheet, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 40 μm or greater and 1.2 mm or less and including a microstructured surface including irregularities are described.

An inkjet printing method forming a decorative printed layer having a three-dimensional texture on a printing surface is described. The inkjet printing method includes: printing dots of curable ink that cure under a predetermined condition based on dot pattern data indicative of printed positions of the dots to be printed on the printing surface; and curing the printed dots. The dot pattern data indicates that: a distance between the adjacent dots becomes a distance where the adjacent dots before the curing are allowed to be maintained independently without bonding to one another in a first region; and the distance between the adjacent dots becomes a distance where the adjacent dots before the curing bond to one another in a second region different from the first region. Such a method may allow forming a decorative printed layer having a three-dimensional texture with a desired gloss level.

An adhesive sheet of an embodiment of the present disclosure is an adhesive sheet including: a rigid resin film having a thickness of 80 micrometers to 500 micrometers, and a first pressure sensitive adhesive layer being disposed on or above a surface of the rigid resin film, wherein the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer includes elastic resin microspheres having a volume average particle diameter of 110 micrometers or greater and a tacky binder, and the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer has an uneven surface due to the presence of the microspheres.
