Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily process recording of a large volume of variable information, by thermally transferring a transfer pattern from a first sheet provided with an ink surface consisting of a sublimable ink for thermal transfer onto an opposed surface of a second sheet, and making the second sheet as a transfer sheet capable of transferring the pattern to an object through sublimation. CONSTITUTION:A transfer material 1 is clamped between a thermal dot printer 5 for printing as transfer patterns a variety of variable information outputted from a computer and a platen 6, and transfer patterns 7 of, for example, 'YAMA' and 'TA' corresponding to output information of a name 'YAMATA' are printed on the transfer material 1 by the printer 5 disposed either on the lower side of a first sheet 2 or on the upper side of a second sheet 3, whereby the transfer patterns 7 are thermally transferred from an ink surface 4 to the lower side of the second sheet 3. Then, the second sheet 3 is brought into contact with a part of an object 8 such as a fabric to which the variable pattern is to be recorded, and pressure and heat are applied from the upper side of the second sheet 3 to transfer the patterns 7 through sublimation, whereby character patterns of a sublimable ink for thermal transfer can be recorded on the object 8.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a transfer method for transferring a transfer pattern output by a computer, such as a name or number, onto a transfer target such as clothing. It is something.

(Prior art) Traditionally, in competitions such as marathons and school sports days, pickens with numbers printed on them (or fortune-telling) have been used to identify athletes, and in schools, especially elementary and junior high schools, picks have been used to identify athletes. In J3, students are distinguished from each other by having their names written on their gym uniforms, and it has traditionally been the practice to stamp numbers and names on parts of their clothes to make it easier for others to identify them. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, since the above-mentioned numbering and naming differ for each individual, the numbers and characters that make up the variable information (i.e. numbers and names) to be displayed must be changed and printed (or fortune-telling). In addition, there was a problem in that numbering and naming (when there was one uniform unit and a large number of units), the work became extremely complicated.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and includes a first sheet provided with an ink surface made of thermal transfer sublimation ink having a different melting temperature and sublimation temperature, and a second sheet covering the ink surface. The sheets are put together, a transfer pattern such as a number and a name is printed by a heating printing means, and the transfer pattern is thermally transferred from the ink surface to the opposite surface of the second sheet, and the transferred object and the second sheet are printed. The above-mentioned conventional problems are solved by providing a transfer method for sublimation-transferring a transfer pattern made of thermal transfer sublimation ink thermally transferred to a second sheet from the second sheet to an object to be transferred.

[For production]

In the present invention, the transfer pattern is thermally transferred from the first sheet provided with the ink surface made of thermal transfer ink to the opposing surface of the second sheet using a heating printing means such as a heating dot printer that prints the transfer pattern based on variable information. , the second
The sheet is configured as a transfer sheet in which a transfer pattern can be sublimated onto an object to be transferred such as cloth, and a transfer pattern corresponding to variable information such as a number or name can be sublimated and transferred onto an object to be transferred.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.

1 in the figure is a transfer material, and the transfer material 1, as shown in FIG. The first sheet 2 located at the top and the second sheet 3 located at the top made of materials such as condensation paper, poly sprue film, and polyimide film are bonded to each other using adhesive S, and the edges are separated. It is possible to stitch it together.

Furthermore, as described above, since the first sheet 2 is formed from polylaminated paper or a sheet-like material whose upper surface is coated, the upper surface 20 of the first sheet 2 has good releasability to ink. The upper surface 20 is coated with thermal transfer sublimation ink to form an ink surface 4.

Top surface 201. : The above thermal transfer wildflower ink to be applied is molded by blending an ink composition such as wax, resin, pigment, sublimation dye, etc., and melts at, for example, about 40 to 120°C, making thermal transfer possible, and at about 180°C. The melting temperature and the sublimation temperature are different, making sublimation transfer possible.

In the transfer material 1, the ink surface 4 is covered with the lower surface 30 of the second sheet 3, and the thermal transfer sublimation ink on the ink surface 4 is thermally transferred in an arbitrary pattern to the lower surface 30 of the second sheet 3 by an appropriate means. When this is done, a pattern is reflected on the lower surface 30, and the second sheet 3 is constructed as a transfer sheet that can transfer the pattern to another object by sublimation (see FIG. 2).

Note that in transfer vU1, the first sheet with the ink surface is located at the bottom, but the first sheet and the second sheet are reversed, and the second sheet is located at the bottom of the first sheet. It may be placed so as to cover the surface.

In order to transfer a character pattern using the transfer material having the above structure, as shown in FIG. The heating dot printer 5
For example, as shown in the figure, the transfer pattern 7 of "Yama" and "Ta" for the output information of the name "Yamada" is transferred to the transfer material 1.
The transfer pattern 7 is thermally transferred from the ink surface 4 to the lower surface of the second sheet 3 by printing from the lower surface side of the first sheet 2 or from the upper surface side of the second sheet 3. Then, the second sheet 3 on which the transfer pattern 7 has been thermally transferred is applied to the variable information written part of the transfer target 8 such as (Ii background), and the second sheet 3 is heated under pressure with, for example, an iron, and transferred. The pattern 7 may be sublimated and transferred, and a character pattern can be written on the transferred material 8 using thermal transfer backing ink (fourth
(see figure). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, not only variable information but also fixed information (for example, competition name, organization name, etc.) is imprinted on the transfer material 1, and a transfer pattern 7' corresponding to the fixed information is applied to the second sheet. It is also possible to thermally transfer the transfer pattern 7' to the lower surface of the second sheet 3, and then transfer the transfer pattern 7' from the lower surface of the second sheet 3 to the transfer target 8.

Note that the transferred pattern may be reversed depending on the direction in which the heated dot printer prints onto the transfer material, but this can be easily handled by changing the signal output from the computer so that the printed pattern of the heated dot printer is reversed.

In the transfer material of the embodiment described above, the first sheet and the second sheet
The form of binding with the sheet is not only one edge that is releasably glued to each other, but also two edges and four edges that are bound together, and a separation means such as a perforation is provided as appropriate. It may be possible to make it double-page spread. Further, the ink surface may be in a divided form coated with a plurality of thermal transfer sublimation inks of different colors, and when it is divided into different colors in this way, character patterns of different colors can be formed. can be written on the transferred material.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, a transfer pattern forming variable information outputted by a computer, such as a name and number, is thermally transferred from an ink surface provided on a first sheet to a second sheet by a heating printing means, Since the transfer pattern of the second sheet is transferred to the object to be transferred, transfer patterns corresponding to variable information such as number 8 and name can be obtained at any time, and transfer sheets corresponding to variable information can be easily manufactured. Variable information can be easily written on the transferred material, eliminating the workability that occurred with conventional direct printing and writing, that is, the trouble of changing the transfer pattern each time in response to variable information, and making it possible to print large amounts of It has excellent practical effects, such as being able to easily process variable information descriptions.
