Exciting new optically engaging and controversial three dimensional simulating illusionary digital designs which generate emotional responses and photo-realism shock effects are produced by digitally creating a design or pattern and dying and/or printing the digitally created design using digitally controlled dying or printing equipment on flooring, such as, modular carpet tiles, area rugs, runners, rugs, carpets, floor mats, or the like. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a carpet tile substrate is cut into individual carpet tile blanks which are jet injection dyed with digitally created designs, colors, patterns, and/or the like which provide excellent seamability, look, feel, wear, and allow for true or accurate registration of three dimensional like, complex, complicated, intricate designs heretofore unknown in the carpet industry. |
