Claims (26)

1. A process for producing a wood fiberboard comprising:

printing a decoration directly onto a surface of a board;

spreading one or more synthetic-resin layers onto the board, directly over the decoration printed directly onto a surface of the board; and

pressing the synthetic-resin layers.

2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the printing is performed directly on a top surface of the board.

3. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the printing is performed directly on a bottom surface of the board.

4. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising stamping into the synthetic-resin layer which corresponds to the printed decoration.

5. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising sawing floor panels from the wood fiberboard.

6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the board is made of one of HDF, MDF, and chipboard, and further comprising covering the top side by a paper free layer of a transparent synthetic resin.

pressing the synthetic-resin layers.

9. The process according to claim 8 , wherein a first synthetic-resin layer applied to the decoration is provided with corundum particles.

10. The process according to claim 8 , further comprising, in a short cycle press, stamping a relief which corresponds to the decoration on a top side into the synthetic-resin layer.

11. The process according to claim 10 , further comprising stamping a relief which corresponds to the decoration on an underside.

12. The process according to claim 10 , further comprising sawing floor panels from the wood fiberboard.

13. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the decoration is printed directly onto at least one of a top side and underside of the board.

14. The process according to claim 13 , further comprising sawing floor panels from the wood fiberboard.

15. The process according to claim 8 , further comprising sawing floor panels from the wood fiberboard.

16. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the wood fiberboard comprises an HDF support board with a top side and an underside, the top side having the decoration printed thereon and covered by at least one layer of a transparent synthetic resin.

17. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the decoration is printed onto an underside of the board.

18. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the decoration is printed directly onto a top side of the board and the board is made of one of HDF, MDF, and chipboard, and further comprising covering the top side by a paper free layer of a transparent synthetic resin.

19. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the decoration is printed onto a top side of the board and is covered by at least one layer of a transparent synthetic resin, wherein the board is made of one of HDF, MDF, and chipboard, and further comprising forming a relief on the top side which corresponds to the decoration.
