ABSTRACT:
A sign with an etched or embossed appearance comprises a transparent substrate on which an extraordinarily thick ridge of viscous ink has been deposited to form a design. For an embossed appearance, the ridge of ink is uniformly smooth. For an etched appearance, the ridge of ink is formed with a textured pattern. A sheet having a thin layer of adhesive on one side is pressed onto the substrate over the ridge of ink to adhear the sheet to the substrate and conform the sheet to the ridge to give the appropriate appearance for the design. Alternatively, the sheet may be replaced by a solidified stratum of a metallic-based solution or powder which may be sprayed or electroplated, respectively, onto the substrate.
