Patent ID: 7833582

Claim:
A process for the production of a region-wise metallization on a carrier substrate, wherein the carrier substrate is at least region-wise provided with a colored first layer which on its side remote from the carrier substrate is provided over its full area with a metal layer, the process comprising: at least partially arranging at least one water-soluble second layer between the first layer and the metal layer, wherein a hardener is added to the first layer and an additive is added to the second layer, which additive is suitable for inactivating the hardener of the first layer, the additive of the second layer inactivates the hardener of the first layer in the regions of the first layer which are arranged in direct contact with the second layer before the first layer is hardened by the hardener, and the second layer and the regions of the first layer in which the hardener was inactivated are dissolved and removed by means of at least one liquid, wherein the metal layer is removed in the regions which were arranged directly on the second layer.
