A process for placing a color graphic image in an ice structure requires a substrate of material which is suitable for use in a four-color (CMYK) printing method, whichgenerally retains its shape upon exposure to water or aqueous solution, and which is air permeable. A decal is produced by printing the image on the substrate using the four-color printing method. The decal is placed onto a surface of the ice structure and coated with water which, once frozen, embeds the decal and image thereon within the icestructure. The substrate should become transparent or dissolve after being embedded in the ice structure. The process is suitable for ice hockey rinks, curling rinks, decorative ice sculptures, and the like.

Un procédé pour placer une image couleur dans une structure de glace nécessite un support en matériau approprié à une méthode d'impression à quatre couleurs (CMYK), qui conserve généralement sa forme quand il est exposé à l'eau ou à une solution aqueuse, et qui est perméable à l'air. Un décalque est produit par impression de l'image sur le support au moyen de la méthode d'impression à quatre couleurs. On place le décalque sur une surface de la structure de glace et on le recouvre d'eau qui, une fois gelée, scelle le décalque et l'image qui s'y trouve dans la structure de glace. Le support devrait devenir transparent ou se dissoudre une fois scellé dans la structure de glace. Le procédé convient aux patinoires de hockey, aux pistes de curling, aux sculptures sur glace décoratives, etc.
