Abstract
A method for manufacturing a paper layer having a printed pattern, to be used in the manufacturing of panels may involve providing the paper layer with a treatment, including providing the paper layer with an ink receiving substance. The treated paper layer may be provided with at least a portion of the printed pattern. Providing the portion of the printed pattern may involve depositing pigment containing inks on the treated paper layer using a digital inkjet printer. The pigment containing inks may be water-based. The digital inkjet printer may include print heads with nozzles. The depositing may involve firing droplets of pigment containing inks from the nozzles onto the treated paper layer. The paper layer may be fed from a roll, printed upon, and rolled back up again.
