A method of manufacturing artificial leather, the method comprising the steps of: - providing a textile support coated with a polyurethane coagulate; - applying at least one first colored base coat on the textile support, and then causing the first colored base coat to dry; - optionally applying a second colored base coat to the first colored base coat and causing the second colored base coat to dry; - applying an additional base coat comprising a fixative, to the first dried colored base coat or to the second dried colored base coat, if provided, and then causing or allowing the further base coat layer to dry; - embossing the colored base coat, imparting a relief design resembling natural leather, thereby obtaining an embossed semi-finished product; - applying at least one first colored finishing top coat on the embossed semi-finished product; - causing the first colored finishing coat to dry; - applying a second colored finishing coat over the first dried finishing coat; - applying, on the second dried finishing coat, a further fixative coat, and then causing or allowing the drying of the additional fixative coat; wherein said drying steps involve the respective passage of the textile support through one or more drying tunnels, to cause the crosslinking of the chemicals applied in succession, the drying temperature in the drying tunnels being equal to 100°C ± 15°C; and said base and finishing coats are applied by spraying, feeding the textile support through one or more spraying booths in which are provided one or more carousels moved in a circular motion, each carousel having a plurality of spray guns. - providing a textile support coated with a polyurethane coagulate; - applying at least one first colored base coat on the textile support, and then causing the first colored base coat to dry; - optionally applying a second colored base coat to the first colored base coat and causing the second colored base coat to dry; - applying an additional base coat comprising a fixative, to the first dried colored base coat or to the second dried colored base coat, if provided, and then causing or allowing the further base coat layer to dry; - embossing the colored base coat, imparting a relief design resembling natural leather, thereby obtaining an embossed semi-finished product; - applying at least one first colored finishing top coat on the embossed semi-finished product; - causing the first colored finishing coat to dry; - applying a second colored finishing coat over the first dried finishing coat; - applying, on the second dried finishing coat, a further fixative coat, and then causing or allowing the drying of the additional fixative coat; wherein said drying steps involve the respective passage of the textile support through one or more drying tunnels, to cause the crosslinking of the chemicals applied in succession, the drying temperature in the drying tunnels being equal to 100°C ± 15°C; and said base and finishing coats are applied by spraying, feeding the textile support through one or more spraying booths in which are provided one or more carousels moved in a circular motion, each carousel having a plurality of spray guns. wherein said drying steps involve the respective passage of the textile support through one or more drying tunnels, to cause the crosslinking of the chemicals applied in succession, the drying temperature in the drying tunnels being equal to 100°C ± 15°C; and said base and finishing coats are applied by spraying, feeding the textile support through one or more spraying booths in which are provided one or more carousels moved in a circular motion, each carousel having a plurality of spray guns. <EOS>
