supplying a substrate having an upper side;
applying a layer onto the upper side; and
irradiating the upper side so as to cure at least a part of the layer by irradiation, hence forming the panel;
wherein the layer includes a liquid coating on the entire upper side and a substance which is digitally printed locally on the upper side;
wherein the liquid coating is non-curable by the irradiation; and
wherein the substance makes the liquid coating curable by the irradiation at locations where the substance and the liquid coating meet each other.
