Patent ID: 8136447

Claim:
A method of registering the decorative prints on opposing surfaces of a substrate, the method comprising the steps of: providing a substrate having first and second surfaces and a circumferential edge surface extending therebetween, wherein at least a portion of the second surface is visible when the substrate is viewed through the first surface; arranging the substrate on a supporting structure with the second surface of the substrate facing the supporting structure, the supporting structure having a registration frame secured thereto; positioning the circumferential edge surface of the substrate proximate and in contact with the registration frame; providing a first print screen stencil having a top and bottom surface and two or more registration holes extending through the top and bottom surfaces: positioning the first print screen stencil above the substrate and registration frame so that the at least two of the registration holes are aligned with the registration frame; applying a printing composition to a top surface of the first print screen stencil to produce a printed design on the first surface of substrate and at least two printed registration marks on the registration frame; removing the first print screen stencil from above the substrate and registration frame; turning the substrate over so that the first surface of the substrate is facing the supporting structure; positioning the circumferential edge surface of the substrate proximate and in contact with the registration frame; providing a second print screen stencil having a top and bottom surface and two or more registration holes extending through the top and bottom surfaces; positioning the second print screen stencil above the substrate and registration frame such that at least two registration holes of the second screen stencil are aligned with the printed registration marks on the frame; applying a printing composition to a top surface of the second print screen stencil to produce a printed design on the second surface of the substrate; and removing the second print screen stencil from above the substrate and registration frame, whereby a consistent three dimensional visual can be provided by two or more substrates.
