In England we always installed 4" of concrete with nylon fibre in the concrete mix for reinforcing, the color was then applied to the surface the floated in until the concrete took on the color, the a release agent another powder was then applied to prevent the mats from plucking of the colour when you lifted the mats, next day pressure washers would jet the release of leaving enough to create the darkness in the joints and pattern creating the affect.
So far in Spain temperature difference, concrete is installed first, then they apply the colour concrete on top then print,now this is the only one i have seen being installed and it looked appalling when finished, so check out the company that does yours and go and view not one but a few of there drives.

I have it galleres9, here's a photo. I couldn't load them on the other forum. I'm still looking for the number, when it was laid we told them we wanted some service ducts and they installed them for us. It has been down three years and it still looks like new, well newish
After it was laid two expansion cut were put in but they are hardly noticeable.I haven't forgot about popping in, the only time we have been near your area is when we have been to the airport but will make more of an effort to get over.
