The manual extrusion method has problems that it requires a great deal of labor and time, and that the extrusion position is apt to be mistaken due to fatigue due to long working hours. Also, once an error occurs, it cannot be corrected, so there is the inconvenience of having to start over from the beginning, and it was a very inefficient production method. Also,
The braille printed matter formed by this method is not necessarily good in durability because it is simply an extruded piece of paper. There was a shortcoming that it became difficult to read because of the lack. Further, the barco printing method is widely used because it is a relatively simple method, but the braille printed matter produced by this method is a heat treatment for fusion-bonding the resin, so that the resin melts and flows out and becomes flat. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain Braille characters having a height suitable for tactile reading.

Further, in the screen printing method using the foamed ink, in the early stage of printing, the ink can pass through the eyes of the screen faithfully like the image on the plate to obtain a beautiful printed matter, but with the passage of printing time. Then, the screen was gradually clogged and a defective printed material with a missing ink layer was formed. In addition, the braille printed matter produced by this method has a problem that the hardness of the character surface is insufficient and it is too soft, so that it is hard to read and the braille character falls off from the paper surface. The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned drawbacks and problems and making an earnest effort to solve them, and it does not require a high degree of mental concentration at the time of tactile reading, and it can be read for a long time. But without fatigue
An object of the present invention is to provide a braille printed material that has a sufficient height and an appropriate hardness that can be touched, and further to provide a foamed printing ink that does not cause screen clogging even when printing for a long time.

As the material of the substrate 2, printing paper such as ordinary paper or coated paper, plastic sheet such as polyvinyl chloride sheet, polystyrene sheet, polyethylene sheet, or a laminated body thereof is used. The composition forming the foamed resin layer 4 comprises a styrene / acrylic resin and a surface modifier, and the styrene / acrylic resin is at least two types of styrene / acrylic resin emulsions having different minimum film forming temperatures, that is, , Styrene-acrylic resin emulsion with a minimum film formation temperature of 40 ° C to 60 ° C, and styrene with a minimum film formation temperature of 0 ° C to 10 ° C.
It is formed by appropriately combining acrylic resin emulsions. The mixing ratio of the two types of resin emulsions having different minimum film forming temperatures is such that the minimum film forming temperature is 0 ° C to 10 ° C with respect to 100 parts by weight of the styrene-acrylic resin component having the minimum film forming temperature of 40 ° C to 60 ° C. 60 to 80 parts by weight of the styrene-acrylic resin are added. Further, in order to foam the styrene-acrylic resin, a foaming agent must be added to the resin composition, but widely used foaming agents such as azodicarbonamide, P-toluenesulfonylhydrazine and low boiling point hydrocarbons. It can be used as a general foaming agent, and its addition amount is 10% of total styrene / acrylic resin.
It is in the range of 5 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 0 parts by weight. However, if the amount of the foaming agent added is less than the above-mentioned specific amount, the degree of foaming is low, and the raised Braille characters are insufficient when checked, which is not preferable in terms of readability. On the other hand, if the addition amount is more than the specific addition amount,
Similarly, the formed braille characters are too soft to be touched and lack durability, which is also not preferable. As the surface modifier added to the resin composition, powders of various inorganic and organic materials are known, but in the present invention, the particle size is 1 to 3 μm.
Use m talc. If a material other than talc is used, the ink composition is not sufficiently dispersed during ink production, and a uniform ink cannot be obtained, so that a clean printed matter cannot be obtained. Therefore, powders other than talc are not used in the present invention and are not used.

The foamable printing ink of the present invention comprises styrene
It consists of an acrylic resin emulsion, talc, a foaming agent, and an organic solvent as a drying / viscosity adjusting agent. As the organic solvent, a glycol solvent having a proper evaporation rate with a boiling point of 180 to 300 ° C. is used. Since the ink of the present invention uses a glycol solvent having such a boiling point as an ink drying / viscosity adjusting agent, screen clogging caused by excessive evaporation of an organic solvent even in continuous printing for a long time. Does not occur. Although various glycol solvents having different boiling points are known, glycols having a boiling point of 197 ° C. to 250 ° C., for example, glycols such as ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol are used in the present invention. The addition amount of the glycol-based solvent is 5 to 10 parts with respect to the total resin amount of the expandable printing ink. The screen is made of synthetic resin such as polyamide or polyester, and is made of stainless steel, and has a mesh of 40 to 150 mesh / inch. Foaming printing ink is poured onto this screen and squeezed with a spatula to print Braille characters on the substrate. The base material provided with the expandable printing ink layer by the screen printing method is heated by an appropriate heating means such as a heating furnace or an infrared lamp in order to heat and foam the ink layer to perform the foaming treatment. Then, it is air-cooled or forcedly cooled to obtain the braille printed material of the present invention.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the braille printed matter according to the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, it is not a braille printed matter in which the ink layer is missing due to the clogging of the screen as in the conventional braille printed matter, but an image on the screen plate. The printed matter of Braille characters as follows is obtained. Also, because there is no clogging,
A necessary and sufficient amount of ink passes through the eyes of the screen, resulting in braille characters of suitable height for tactile reading. Furthermore, since the braille printed material according to the present invention uses styrene-acrylic resin having good adhesiveness and talc as the composition for forming the braille character, the braille character may be peeled off from the substrate surface. In addition, the height of the raised layer obtained was not inferior to the braille printed matter obtained by the conventional barco printing method or heat foaming method, and was rather excellent. Furthermore, the surface of the foamed braille is
Since it is not smooth, it is a print of braille characters that is very easy to read because it has fine irregularities. In addition, the heat-foamable ink according to the present invention uses a glycol solvent as an ink drying / viscosity adjusting agent, and thus has an appropriate viscosity and drying rate. For this reason, even if continuous printing is performed, the screen plate is not clogged, and a large amount of beautiful Braille printed matter can be obtained at low cost.
