Laminated article production method which comprises coating or plating the surface of a press plate or the cross-arranged press plate, with a hard coating impregnated with a fluorinated polymer. A typical coating which may be used together with the fluorinated polymer comprises a nickel and chromium, combinations thereof and alloys. An advantage of the present invention, includes the elongated plate life, decrease the number of plates washed, faster press time, is expected to support the better equipment utilization and lower product cost. Furthermore, the laminate product includes a fluorine-based polymer as part of the laminated product. This method, while generally possible to omit the so-called "overlay" layer overlying the hard particles on the top surface of the laminate as the α- cellulose layer, it is possible to provide an extended life of the press face.
