Abstract:
1. A method for forming a pattern of a print material on a receiver element comprising a print material receptive layer, the method comprising: providing an elastomeric relief element that comprises a relief pattern comprising (1) an uppermost relief surface, and (2) an average relief image depth of at least 50 relative to the uppermost relief surface, applying a first printable material composition to the uppermost relief surface of the elastomeric relief element, the first printable material composition comprising a first print material and a carrier liquid, removing at least 50 weight % of the carrier liquid from the first printable material composition that is disposed on the uppermost relief surface of the elastomeric relief element, leaving the first print material on the uppermost relief surface, applying a second printable material composition to the first print material on the uppermost relief surface of uppermost relief surface, the second printable material comprising a second print material and a carrier liquid, removing at least 50 weight % of the carrier liquid from the second printable material composition, forming a multilayer structure comprised of the second print material disposed on the first print material, on the uppermost relief surface, and transferring the multilayer structure from the uppermost relief surface to a receptive surface of the receiver element, wherein the first print material and the second print material are different at least compositionally.
