Abstract

Decorative articles having a three-dimensional patterned surface are formed employing the different surface tension properties of a wet ink printed pattern and a liquid top coat composition; the difference in surface tension is such that the liquid top coat composition retracts from the wet ink pattern; subsequently the ink is dried and the top coat is dried and cured.
