verry interesting video about coating your own blanks - new videos :)

This product is quite curious.

According to the website (I googled his name because no one's put the website in a post), it's loosely described as a patent for "Images in Corian and Solid Surfaces". Don't we already put images on solid surfaces? Aren't we already printing mugs and tiles?

Also, much is made of the patent such as "granting him the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale" - with emphasis on the word "exclude".

Due to the lack of clarity, it seems very much like he's got a patent for putting images onto solid surfaces and he can prevent everyone else from doing the same.

Have I just read it wrong, or is this going to affect everyone who currently works in the industry?

Sorry JSR I got his website off his video which has now been taken down. For anyone else who is interested...

You have a point if his patents are kosher or though I think he would have a hard time defending them with the players out there. Remember, he is based in California

I tried the Digicoat spray nearly a year ago and it worked well enough. Doubt it would be hard wearing though. Used a few coatings in the past but the spray has been the best coverage. I used it when looking at trying different samples and see what would work for subli.
