Abstract
Panels having a decorative surface may include a substrate and a top layer, and the top layer may include a paper layer having a printed pattern. A method for manufacturing such panels may involve providing the paper layer with thermosetting resin, and providing the resin provided paper layer with at least a portion of the printed pattern. Providing the portion of the printed pattern may involve depositing pigment containing inks on the paper layer using a digital inkjet printer. The dry weight of the total volume of the pigment containing inks deposited on the paper layer is lower than 15 grams per square meter.
