Manufacture of Paper or Card having Designs Printed or Embossed
on Iridescent Grounds.
I, JOHN IMRAY, of Bukbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Buildings, in the
County of London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by
Societe Anonyme A Roudillon et Cie, of 3, Rue Thenaid, Paris, France) and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascei-
tained in and by the following statement -
In the Specification No 10901 of 1897, is described a process for producing
coloured or decorative effects of iridescent character on paper or like surfaces
The present invention relates to the manufacture of paper or cards presenting
iridescent grounds with designs printed in colour or metal or embossed and also
BO printed.

page_text: For this purpose the paper or caid 18 first subjected to the treatment described
in the specification above referred to so that its surface presents the desued
Iridescent tants It is then printed with the desired design, which may be in
colours or metals, or it may be embossed by pressure between dies or pattern
1ollers.
When printing with colours or metals upon the descent paper, the iridescent
aur face of the latter may either form the ground while the printed portions form
the pattern, or the original iridescent surface may form the pattern and the printed
portions constitute the ground.
In either case the ornamental design may be embossed by means of suitable
embossing rollers or dies or be left smooth, or the entire surface may be 11bbed by
pressing the paper between 11bbed surfaces or ribbed rolle18
The printing in colours upon such iridescent paper can be effected in the ordinary
way without any previous preparation of the indescent surface
As stated in the Specification to the said Patent No 10901 of 1897, the descent
surface can be produced upon other substances than paper and card, such as
leather, pegamoid, woven fabrics and tissues of various kinds and consequently the
above described ornamentation either by punting alone or by printing and
embossing, can also be applied to such other materials when provided with the
said iridescent surface
Having now particularly described and uscertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1 The manufacture of paper, card, or equivalent material with designs either by
printing only or by both printing and embossing on indescent surfaces, so that
the iridescent surfaces appear either as the ground or as the ornamental design
substantially as described.
2. As new manufactures, paper, card, or equivalent material having an indescent
surface with designs produced either by printing in colour only or by both printing
and embossing combined, substantially as described
