Abstract

Successive Digital Ink Jet printing heads decorate ceramic/glass and other wares;

for ceramics/glassware an adhesion-promoting coating material is DIJ-applied on the print site; a DIJ-printable coating is overlaid, followed by a DIJ-applied background colour, the required decoration is DIJ-applied on the area, and a protective transparent coating is then DIJ-overlaid. Most layers are cured/dried with U/V and/or I/R
and/or Hot-air. Successive impact-protective layers can be DIJ printed. Other DIJ-printed wares include flat ware, metal-ware, pens, markers and pencils, DVD and CD
discs, which wares may not require adhesion promoting material or printable under-coating.
The work stations may overlie one or more carousels which transport the wares.

Claims (20)

1. The method of coating a surface portion of an article, including the steps of positioning said article in a predetermined attitude upon a transport means at a first location; moving the article into working proximity to a first Digital Ink Jet printing means;
applying a first coating by the first printing means to a predetermined first surface area of the article;
moving the article to a second DIJ printing means, and applying a second coating to a second, predetermined area of the article; and curing at least one said coating by exposure to curing means selected from the group consisting of U/V, I/R and Hot-air.
2. The method as set forth in Claim 1, wherein said second surface area is substantially coincident with said first surface area.
3. The method as set forth in Claim 1, wherein said first coating is an adhesion promotion material, and said second coating is a printable coating.
4. The method as set forth in Claim 1, including moving said article to a third DIJ printing means, and DIJ printing over said second coating a DIJ-print colour background.
5. The method as set forth in Claim 4, including moving said article to a fourth DIJ printing means, and DIJ-printing decorative material over at least a portion of the area of said colour background.
6. The method as set forth in Claim 5, including moving said article to a fifth DIJ printing means, and DIJ-printing a transparent protective coat over at least a portion of said decorative material.
7. The method as set forth in Claim 1, wherein one said coating is a urethane-based coloured ink undercoat to provide a DIJ-print colour background for over-printing.
8. The method as set forth in Claim 7, wherein said over-printing is DIJ-applied decorative material.
9. The method as set forth in Claim 8, including applying a third, transparent protective coating over at least a portion of said decorative material.
10. A decorated product having a DIJ decoration applied to a predetermined surface area of the product, including: an adhesion promoting first coating applied to at least a predetermined area to be decorated; a second, printable coating DIJ applied at least to said predetermined area to be decorated; and a DIJ-applied decoration applied to said second coating.
11. The product as set forth in Claim 10, further including a substantially transparent outer, protective coating, DIJ-applied in overlying, protective relation with said decoration.
12. The product as set forth in Claim 11, wherein said substantially transparent outer, protective coating is DIJ applied and covers said decoration.
13. The product as set forth in Claim 11, wherein said substantially transparent outer, protective coating is DIJ applied and covers a major surface portion of said product.
14. A decorated product as set forth in Claim 10, wherein a white undercoat is DIJ applied to said predetermined surface area; a first colour portion of said decoration is DIJ applied on said undercoat; and at least one further colour coat is DIJ applied in predetermined positioned relation with said first colour portion of said decoration.
15 The product as set forth in Claim 14 wherein said DIJ decoration includes a plurality of basic colours.
16. Apparatus for decorating hand-portable wares, comprising first transport means for moving said wares; transfer means for receiving said wares in mutually spaced relation thereon; said transfer means moving in a predetermined path and having a plurality of overhead digital ink jet printing heads in mutually spaced relation along said path, wherein at least one said printing head is adapted to deposit a thin, non-decorative layer upon a predetermined surface portion of said wares by discrete jet application; and another said printing head is adapted to deposit at least one decorative layer upon at least a portion of said predetermined surface portion of said wares; and drying/curing means positioned adjacent said transfer means, to dry/cure said layers on said wares.
17. The apparatus as set forth in Claim 16, wherein said transfer means consists of at least one rotatable carousel.
18. The apparatus as set forth in Claim 16, wherein said transfer means consists of a first, lower level carousel and a second upper level carousel located in superposed relation over said first carousel; and transfer re-positioning means for transferring said wares between said levels.
19. The apparatus as set forth in Claim 18, wherein said first and said second carousels rotate step-by-step in predetermined, mutually scheduled relation, for sequential, step-by-step decoration of said wares.
20. The apparatus as set forth in Claim 18, wherein said first and said second carousels rotate in mutually opposed directions.
