Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for transferring motifs applied to a motif carrier by means of color to another carrier, in particular textiles, which can also be washed at up to 95 ° C., this motif carrier being brought into contact with this other carrier with the motif side and the transmission with a transfer liquid and under pressure.
  • the customary printing processes are understood to be high pressure or flexographic printing, planographic printing or offset printing, gravure printing or squeegee printing, and screen printing. In high pressure, the elements to be printed are raised, while the printing form is flat or cylindrical.
  • the planographic printing in which printing and non-printing elements lie in the same plane, is based on the fact that the printing parts are made water-repellent by chemical treatment. They can be colored with pasty printing ink; the non-printing parts are made grease-repellent, they do not accept any ink.
  • the printing form is either flat (lithographic printing) or cylindrical (offset printing).
  • a dampening unit is added to the inking unit, which moistens the stone or offset plate before inking.
  • the elements to be printed are deepened by etching or engraving.
  • the excess ink is removed from the printing form flooded with liquid ink, for example by means of a squeegee, so that ink only remains in the lower-lying printing elements.
  • the paper is pressed against the printing form by a printing cylinder, whereby the ink is sucked from the wells onto the paper.
  • the printing form consists of a stencil made of color-permeable material (metal or nylon screen).
  • the pasty printing ink is pressed manually or in the screen printing machine with a squeegee through the mesh of the screen onto the printing material.
  • a squeegee through the mesh of the screen onto the printing material.
  • DE-OS 17 71 863 a known method is described, by means of which on an original document, for. B. Art paper, images produced on a new base, for example a surface made of a textile material, wood, stone or the like. Transferred.
  • an intermediate underlay in the form of a non-moisture-sensitive laminate which consists of the following layers in the order mentioned: a base layer, a releasable middle layer, a clear lacquer layer and a pressure-sensitive glue layer.
  • the disadvantages of this method lie primarily in the inaccuracy of the image transmission and in the presence of poorly transmitted image parts. Furthermore, the intermediate carrier was an extremely complicated object.
  • the ink layer covering the image is coated with an adhesive layer
  • a sheet coated with a glue adhering to pressure or the like is coated with the adhesive side is pressed against the printing ink layer, after which the sheet or the like is pulled off from the printing ink layer, with glue remaining on the printing ink layer, and a pre-prepared, non-moisture-sensitive intermediate pad is pressed onto the glue material, which is stacked on top of one another in the direction of the print -sensitive glue seen from a clear coat, an easily removable from the clear coat layer of adhesive and a base layer, for example made of support material or any other support material, after which the original pad is removed from the ink layer and the intermediate pad with it hen the ink layer is applied to the new base, after which the base layer of the intermediate base and the adhesive layer are removed from the clear coat.
  • GB-PS 423 727 also describes the transfer of images from a first surface to a second surface.
  • the original motif is treated with a liquid that softens the surface of the intermediate carrier.
  • the intermediate carrier is a paper which is coated with various chemical substances in a complicated and expensive manner.
  • the original base of the motif is then treated with another chemical which causes the base to dissolve so that the base can detach from the motif now on the intermediate carrier.
  • the motif is then transferred from the intermediate support to the new base.
  • the liquid applied to the original motif is a liquid that dissolves the original base on which the motif is located, or a liquid that softens the surface of the intermediate carrier.
  • motifs caused by a printing method using conventional printing inks are transferred from a flexible original base, for example a printed paper, to a new base, in particular one made of leather or wood, the motif being transferred Application of a liquid is detached from the original pad.
  • the new base is wetted with a color-dissolving liquid, preferably with a neutral, non-alkaline, non-ionic surfactant and solvent containing oil and hydrocarbon. Then the original pad with the side on which the motif is placed is placed on the wetted surface of the new pad and pressed onto it. Finally, the original document is subtracted from the new document.
  • a color-dissolving liquid preferably with a neutral, non-alkaline, non-ionic surfactant and solvent containing oil and hydrocarbon.
  • a method for transferring motifs onto a carrier is known, the transfer taking place by means of a transfer liquid and under pressure.
  • the motifs are made from a washable color, namely the colors Rhodamine B, Quinoline, Yellow and Sudan Blue.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and, in particular, to develop a method by means of which images, in particular onto textile substrates, can be transferred in an inexpensive and rapid manner in such a way that they remain durable on these textile substrates.
  • the motifs are made from an oxidative paint, to which an additive is added, which delays the curing of the paint.
  • oxidative paints do not have a hardener, but harden themselves within a specified period of time. However, after curing, they can no longer be removed by a color-dissolving liquid, so that they can then no longer be transferred from one motif carrier to another carrier.
  • the motif is produced by means of oxidative colors and is transferred to the other carrier immediately or, depending on the delay means, in a predetermined time. If, for example, four-color printing is carried out, the yellow plate is first printed on the motif carrier.
  • the blue plate is printed, after its surface hardening, the red plate is printed and finally the black plate is printed.
  • This sequence is only to be understood as an example and can be changed if this is useful for the process.
  • a motif produced in this way can now be used immediately and placed on a T-shirt, for example.
  • the hardened surface of the paint is broken open, whereby the paint can penetrate into the textile fabric.
  • the transfer liquid also breaks up the hardened surfaces of the following layers of ink so that they can also penetrate the textile to be printed. A relatively rapid hardening then takes place there because the oxidative paint is now exposed to the air from all sides and can harden faster.
  • the motif carrier paper is used as the motif carrier.
  • the oxidative color not only hardens from the surface, but also through the paper from the back.
  • the situation is different if the motif is applied to a film, for example, whereby the oxidative color is not exposed to the air from behind.
  • the shelf life of the motifs produced by the oxidative colors also depends on the motif carrier.
  • the advantage of the oxidative color is, however, that the finest micronatures can be transferred, and this with 100 percent passage accuracy. As a result, no committee is created when carrying out the method, as was the case with the known methods. The corresponding cost savings are between 60 and 80%. Since the colors combine intensively with the textile substrate, they can be hot, chemically treated or ironed after curing without affecting the motif in any way.
  • Another significant advantage of the method is that the motif is transmitted entirely without the addition of heat, so that synthetic material can also be treated. Cotton and synthetic material are therefore not subject to any change in shape, so that there can be no distortion of the motifs.
  • the image is transferred to the textile substrate in a color-fast manner and is retained even after a large number of washing processes.
  • the present method prints in use. That is, for example in the screen printing process, the screen is exposed 100 times with the drawn repro and 100 four-color motifs are produced by four printing processes. A further printing process is then necessary to transfer each motif. This gives 104 prints. The considerable time savings can be seen from this alone, since 296 prints are less necessary.
  • the carousel takes up a lot more space.
  • the printing technique used to produce the desired motif is irrelevant to the method according to the invention.
  • the motif can be produced in letterpress, planographic, gravure or screen printing. In individual cases, the cheapest solution will have to be selected.
  • Each printer can produce the motifs themselves, so that there is no obligation to purchase them as with the known colors. Both oxidative and physical colors are readily available commercially.
  • the motifs are printed upside down so that they are in the correct position after being transferred to the carrier. This is precisely the essential difference from the method according to DE-PS 27 57 630, according to which a reverse transmission takes place. According to the method described there, photocopies, that is, correct motifs, are usually transferred upside down onto a substrate.
  • the opposite is provided in order to produce the motif itself, so that when it is transferred a correct image is created on the T-shirt or the like to be printed.
  • a correct image is created on the T-shirt or the like to be printed.
  • characters can also be easily printed on a corresponding substrate.
  • the printing inks transferred with the above-mentioned process adapt to every textile fiber, ie both a natural and a synthetic fiber, the color brilliance of the image being retained in full.
  • the substrate is washable without restriction, and the transferred image has a very high wash resistance.
  • orange oil in particular having proven to be particularly advantageous, above all as far as the light and color fastness of the transferred motif is concerned.
  • citric acid is added to the solvent, and this can be done up to an order of magnitude of ten percent by volume.
  • a salt is again added to the solvent, which leads to neutralization.
  • the latter is preferred because a motif from a color without a hardener can be more easily detached from the motif carrier by the transfer liquid and the hardener is only added when the colors on a substrate are desired to be stable. This means that the colors can be dissolved on the motif carrier, but after being transferred to the textile substrate, the addition of the hardener in the liquid makes them insoluble.
  • the motif carrier then contains considerable uncertainties with regard to the hardening of, in particular, oxidative colors if it has been formed from an absorbent cellulose material, ie. H. when using plain paper, for example.
  • the motif carrier contains considerable uncertainties with regard to the hardening of, in particular, oxidative colors if it has been formed from an absorbent cellulose material, ie. H. when using plain paper, for example.
  • there are so great differences from paper to paper that it is very difficult to determine how much of a retarder has to be added to the paint so that it hardens after a predetermined time.
  • a motif carrier which is formed from at least two layers of different densities.
  • the layer that bears the motif should preferably be made impermeable to the motif color. On the other hand, however, it should in turn be permeable to the transfer liquid.
  • a motif carrier which is on the market under the name Chromolux paper, has proven to be the most suitable.
  • Chromolux paper consists of paper coated on one side, the coated side forming a closed surface that prevents the motif color from penetrating. From the rear, the Chromolux behaves like a permeable paper. If the transfer liquid is applied to this layer, it also penetrates the painted side from behind and thus dissolves the motif color, which is then transferred to the new carrier.
  • the transfer liquid can be applied in various ways, this route depending in particular on the motif carrier and the new carrier.
  • the application methods impregnation, spraying or brushing are to be considered as equivalent.
  • wetting using pens or sprayers can also suffice. These pens are simultaneously pressed onto the motif holder and the new holder.
  • sponge-like application devices are also conceivable, in which case a certain portioning of the transfer liquid to be applied should follow.
  • a corresponding portioning takes place when a solid material with an uneven surface is used as the application medium. Holes are formed from the uneven surface in which the transfer liquid can hold due to its own adhesive forces and are only sucked off when the solid material is placed on the motif carrier or the new carrier.
  • the motif carrier is placed on the new carrier or the new carrier on the motif carrier. Furthermore, it is also possible for the motif carrier and carrier to be placed against one another and pressed onto one another from both sides. There should be no limit to the invention here.
  • a motif is applied to a motif carrier, for example in four-color printing.
  • the printing process is irrelevant, preferred motif carriers are described above.
  • this motif carrier is brought into contact with the base to be printed or the new carrier, which is wetted with transfer liquid shortly before or during insertion into the press.
  • the motif color is loosened by the transfer liquid and connects to the new carrier, whereby this connection is accelerated and improved by adding pressure.
  • the motif carrier and the new carrier are separated from each other, whereby the motif sticks to the new carrier.
  • presses are used for the present method according to the invention. Presses can be hydraulic, pneumatic, electromagnetic or the like. Even hand printing, such as occurs when transferring images using color-resolving liquid in pens, is sufficient in some cases. Depending on the quantities or series of printed substrates that are produced, the press is also adapted to the necessary requirements. This can go as far as fully automatic presses operating in three shifts.
  • the image to be transmitted regardless of how many prints it consists of, is transmitted in its entirety and so there are no passport problems which could only be eliminated to a small extent by additional human control.
  • Motif carriers as well as color-resolving liquid and presses are easy to handle materials or objects. This makes it possible to set up a mobile print shop that can come into the house itself if desired and also print on objects that are immovable or difficult to move. With an appropriate press, motifs can also be transferred to walls, tables, chairs or the like at any time.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible for the first time to transfer an original image, be it a print, a photograph, a photocopy, a lettering or the like, directly from a motif carrier to another substrate.
  • an original image be it a print, a photograph, a photocopy, a lettering or the like
  • Edge sharpness, passage accuracy and, in the case of black and white images, the depth of focus correspond to those properties of the original image.
  • the substrate to be printed does not warp, so that it retains the same fit both before and after printing.
  • the image applied to a washable substrate is washable, regardless of whether it is a natural or synthetic substrate.
  • the same also applies to chemical cleaning, which also does nothing to the image. Ironing is easily possible.
  • Every private person can apply desired images to a desired substrate, but also every printer can produce motifs themselves and apply them quickly and without rejects in small and large runs to substrates.
