A method for producing a material panel provided with a decorative layer comprising the following steps: - providing at least one material panel made of a wood-based material or a wood-based material-plastic mixture with an upper side and a lower side, - applying at least one resin layer and at least one base coat layer to the upper side of the material panel; - applying at least one decorative layer in direct print to the upper side of the at least one material panel, wherein the at least one decorative layer comprises at least one additive in the form of gas-filled microspheres; - applying at least one protective layer to the at least one decorative layer; - at least surface drying of said at least one protective layer, said method being characterized by the following steps: - applying at least one wear-resistant layer to the protective layer, the wear-resistant layer being applied by the following steps: - applying at least one first resin layer to said at least one protective layer; - uniformly spreading abrasion resistant particles on said first resin layer; - drying the first resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles in at least one drying device; - applying at least one further resin layer to the dried first resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles; and - drying of the further resin layer; and - pressing the layered structure in a short-cycle press at temperatures between 150 and 250°C and a pressure between 100 and 1000 N/cm 2, whereby the gas-filled microspheres expand. - providing at least one material panel made of a wood-based material or a wood-based material-plastic mixture with an upper side and a lower side, - applying at least one resin layer and at least one base coat layer to the upper side of the material panel; - applying at least one decorative layer in direct print to the upper side of the at least one material panel, wherein the at least one decorative layer comprises at least one additive in the form of gas-filled microspheres; - applying at least one protective layer to the at least one decorative layer; - at least surface drying of said at least one protective layer, said method being - applying at least one wear-resistant layer to the protective layer, the wear-resistant layer being applied by the following steps: - applying at least one first resin layer to said at least one protective layer; - uniformly spreading abrasion resistant particles on said first resin layer; - drying the first resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles in at least one drying device; - applying at least one further resin layer to the dried first resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles; and - drying of the further resin layer; and - applying at least one first resin layer to said at least one protective layer; - uniformly spreading abrasion resistant particles on said first resin layer; - drying the first resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles in at least one drying device; - applying at least one further resin layer to the dried first resin layer provided with the abrasion-resistant particles; and - drying of the further resin layer; and - pressing the layered structure in a short-cycle press at temperatures between 150 and 250°C and a pressure between 100 and 1000 N/cm 2, whereby the gas-filled microspheres expand.
