Abstract
The instant disclosure provides a process for forming an image in flock, which involves digitally printing an adhesive composition directly on a substrate surface, preferably by modifying the amount of the adhesive based on a linearization curve, flocking the surface with a flock material, and curing the image. The instant disclosure also provides a method for obtaining a linearization curve for digital flocking, which involves forming a pattern using an adhesive composition, flocking the pattern with a flock material, curing the flocked image to obtain a flocked greyscale image, and measuring the flock intensity to obtain the linearization curve, whereas the linearization curve is unique for a set of given conditions and can be implemented in RIP commands to modify DPI values for digital flocking. An image comprising regions with more than one flock intensity is also described.
