1. Method for forming a dual gloss coating on a substrate which comprises:
- (a) applying to the substrate a first, continuous layer of curable polyurethane or PVC plastisol or organosol and at least partially curing same;
(b) then applying with a rotogravure cylinder to selected areas of the surface of the thus at least partially cured continuous layer a second, discontinuous, printed layer of the same or a different curable polyurethane or PVC plastisol or organosol, said rotogravure cylinder having a number of lines per inch sufficient to produce a difference in gloss effect between the discontinuous layer and continuous layer after curing of said layers; and
(c) then completing the curing of both said layers.

Abstract
A dual gloss coating is formed on a substrate by first applying to the substrate a continuous layer of curable polyurethane or PVC plastisol or organosol. After the layer is at least partially cured, a second discontinuous layer of the same or different urethane or PVC plastisol or organosol is applied to selected areas of the surface of the first layer by rotogravure printing, using a rotogravure cylinder having a number of lines per inch sufficient to produce a difference in gloss effect between the discontinuous layer and the continuous layer after complete curing of the layers, and then completing the cure of the layers.

5. Method for forming a decorative covering that has areas of distinct high and low gloss which comprises:
-
(a) applying to a substrate a first continuous layer of curable PVC plastisol or organosol and partially curing same; (b) then printing a design on said first continuous layer; (c) then coating the printed, first continuous layer with a second continuous layer of clear, curable polyurethane or PVC plastisol or organosol and at least partially curing same; (d) then applying with a rotogravure cylinder of between about 50 and about 150 lines per inch a third, discontinuous, rotogravure printed layer of the same or a different curable, non-foamable, PVC plastisol, PVC organosol or polyurethane in register with the pattern of the printed design, said number of lines per inch being sufficient to produce a difference in gloss effect between the continuous and discontinuous layers, and (e) then completing the curing of the various layers thereby forming rotogravure printed areas in the product in register with the printed design having different gloss characteristics from the remaining areas of the product. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
