Definitions

  • the present invention relates to decals and processes for transfer of images to substrates.
  • decals are of two types: those which have a dry release and those which have a wet release.
  • This invention is related to decals with wet release.
  • Those which are available in the market have an image printed on a paper which has previously been covered with a layer soluble in water. When the decal is soaked with water and pressed on a substrate, on the surface of which the image is to appear, this layer dissolves and becomes soft, so that the paper may be removed, usually by sliding or lifting, leaving the image on the desired surface.
  • the paper on which the image is printed is known as a wet release decal paper, normally made up of a paper of good quality which is coated with a water soluble emulsion, e.g., starch and gum.
  • the paper may have been specially treated in order to neutralize contraction and expansion due to metereological conditions.
  • the coated paper is known as a "simplex" paper. If it is made to adhere to another paper, it becomes a stronger kind of decal paper, known as a duplex" paper.
  • the image may be printed on the decal paper with known methods, such as printing copying or drawing directly or in reverse, depending on the final surface.
  • the printer begins by application of a coat of lacquer or varnish on the decal paper surface. Thereafter, he prints the image on the lacquer. Instead of printing directly on the decal paper, the image could also be transferred from another paper, on which it had been applied with known methods.
  • the decal is applied on the desired substrate with the use of an adhesive, varnish, emulsion or solution of special kind, etc. Before applying the decal, it is submerged in water for a short while, whereafter the decal is applied in its exact position and the paper is slid off. The sliding-off results from the dissolution in water of the decal's water soluble layer.
  • a decal paper is also made with a lacquer or varnish coat already over the water soluble layer. On this type of decal paper, it is possible to print directly on the coat of lacquer or varnish.
  • a transfer resulting from a decal on which the image has been applied directly on the decal paper surface is called a "direct transfer.”
  • the transfer to the substrate is called an "indirect transfer.”
  • Dry release decal papers rather than coating the paper with a water soluble layer, rely on a coating of a dry release material such as silicone, polyethylene, or other material that has little affinity for the layer of lacquer on which the image is to be printed or transferred. After application of the image to the final substrate, the paper backing of the decal is stripped off with the dry release layer adhering to it.
  • a dry release material such as silicone, polyethylene, or other material that has little affinity for the layer of lacquer on which the image is to be printed or transferred.
  • decals carrying images and made in factories to be sold to users who effect the final transfer to a substrate Such users may be producers of consumer products, e.g., T-shirts, or producers of metal or plastic items onto which instructions, labels or decorations are to be applied by decal, or hobbiests or artists who transfer to canvas, cloth, ceramics, wood or metal.
  • the ultimate user may be involved in part of the manufacture of the decal itself, particularly in indirectly transferring a picture or other image first to the coated wet release decal paper or the dry release decal paper to form the decal itself, and then in transferring same to the substrate.
  • wet release paper carrying a water-soluble coating of, e.g., dextrine, starch and/or gum, which acts as a release layer when wetted
  • a water-soluble coating of, e.g., dextrine, starch and/or gum which acts as a release layer when wetted
  • conventional coated papers in which the paper is first sized, as with starch, then a coating comprising adhesive binders, pigments such as clay, casein or other fillers, is coated on one or both sides of the paper.
  • Such papers are designed for printing on the coated side resulting in high-gloss printing suitable for magazine covers and art reproductions.
  • the coating serves to minimize penetration of the image into the paper, and on wetting acts to release the paper from the film carrying the image. See Edwards U.S. Patent 3,334,003; Morgan et al. U.S. Patent 3,350,254.
  • a transfer utilizing a clay (and/or other pigment) coated paper sometimes works well if the coating is easily removed with water, as long as the transfer is indirect and to an opaque surface. However, if transparency is required, or the transfer is direct, the film carrying the transferred image must be thoroughly cleaned. This is due to the fact that not only does the image transfer, but also part of the clay and binder coating on which the image was originally printed. Sometimes even a portion of the paper fibers and pigmentation may transfer. All of this results in a transferred image which is obscured by a semi-opaque white layer. Normally, it is not possible to clean away this layer with water only, and a more potent solution is required. Sodium hydroxide may be utilized for this task, as is mentioned in some of the patent descriptions referring to such transfers.
  • the present invention utilizes a dry paper sheet base in which the pores of the paper have been filled with solid material such that a surface thereof is not substantially porous, i.e., the pores thereof have been substantially sealed, but said surface is essentially free from non-water-soluble opaque filler material.
  • a plastic film is applied to said non-porous surface, but does not penetrate the same, even if the film is applied as an aqueous emulsion of a film-forming polymer or in other liquid form and then solidified, because of the fact that the pores of the paper have been filled.
  • An image to be transferred is applied either on said non-porous paper surface before applying the plastic film, or on the plastic film after it has been applied, or both. The paper when wetted is easily releasable from the film and image(s).
  • a convenient way of providing the paper sheet base is to subject a bond paper, or preferably a somewhat harder paper, to coating only on one side with an adhesive, or with an adhesive plus pigments as is customary in preparing coated papers.
  • the paper Before such application of coating, the paper is ordinarily sized to improve water resistance.
  • Sizing may be internal, i.e., the sizing, such as rosin and alum, is mixed with the paper fibers before formation of the web. Other materials may also be mixed with the fibers, such as starch and pigments.
  • the sizing may be externally applied, as by treating one or both sides of the web with starch or other gums, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, guar gums, that are water-soluble or readily water-dispersible. Opaque materials that are not water-soluble or dispersible should not be used on the side to which the plastic film is to be applied.
  • the sizing material, internally or externally applied, will to some extent fill or seal pores in the paper surface, but after sizing the paper will still be somewhat porous.
  • the coating applied on only one side may be just an adhesive binder material, such as water-soluble binders, e.g., starches, or proteins from milk (casein) or soybeans, or such as latex binders, e.g., styrene/butadiene, polyvinyl acetate, or acrylic latices.
  • adhesive binder material such as water-soluble binders, e.g., starches, or proteins from milk (casein) or soybeans, or such as latex binders, e.g., styrene/butadiene, polyvinyl acetate, or acrylic latices.
  • mineral pigments are admixed with binder to provide the coating.
  • Clay is the least expensive pigment and is almost always used.
  • the other most commonly used pigments are calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide.
  • the coating ingredients penetrate the pores of the paper to a sufficient extent that the pores of the opposite, non-coated side are substantially sealed giving a non-porous surface.
  • the coated side will be glossy while the uncoated side will be dull.
  • the pores of the paper are filled but the surface of the uncoated side is essentially free from the filler material. It is postulated that the paper acts as a filter that limits the passage of materials to the other side, and that the non-coated surface somehow acts as a barrier to limit passage through the surface to the outside.
  • a plastic film is applied to the uncoated side it adheres to the paper but does not penetrate, and the paper when wetted is easily separated from the film.
  • a feature of my invention is that the surface of the uncoated side of the paper is essentially free from filler material.
  • Mineral pigments are opaque and water-insoluble. If present on the surface to which the plastic film is applied, sufficient pigment will adhere to the film, when the paper has been wetted and lifted, to cover the film or to create areas or blotches on the film which will disfigure the image when positioned on the substrate.
  • Material on the surface that is transparent when dry, or that is water-soluble and thus largely or completely dissolved when the paper is wetted and separated and thus carried away with the paper or wiped off when the separated film is dried, is not a problem; an example would be starch sizing that might adhere to the surface.
  • the plastic film is applied to the non-coated side of the paper, as an aqueous emulsion of a film-forming polymer, e.g., an acrylic emulsion, or a polyvinyl chloride emulsion including emulsions of vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer. Or a lacquer with an organic solvent base may be used.
  • a film-forming polymer e.g., an acrylic emulsion, or a polyvinyl chloride emulsion including emulsions of vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer.
  • a lacquer with an organic solvent base may be used.
  • the liquid in any case is allowed to dry in air, or with the aid of heat, to form a solid film, usually accompanied by curing, i.e., polymerizing or cross-linking.
  • a water emulsion of acrylic polymer has proved to work well in forming the plastic film.
  • the emulsion may have a solids content of say 40 to 50%, dispersed in water with the aid of a suitable nonionic emulsifier.
  • a very small amount of suitable defoaming agent that prevents formation of bubbles or the so called “orange peel” effect as the coating dries should desirably be added to the polymer
  • One commercial product is Rhoplex AC-33 (Rohm and Haas Company, Philadelphia, PA), an aqueous emulsion of an acrylic polymer having a solids content of 46 to 47 percent, a pH of 9.4 to 9.9, a weight per gallon of 8.9 pounds (1.07 kg/1) and a minimum film-formation temperature of 9°C.
  • Rhoplex B-60A is also suitable.
  • a thin pre-formed plastic film (say 1-5 mils (0.025-013 mm) in thickness e.g. a vinyl or polyurethane film, may be laminated to the non-coated side of the paper with the aid of adhesive and/or heat and/or pressure.
  • a protective sheet is placed between the heat source (such as a domestic iron) and the paper.
  • the heat source such as a domestic iron
  • a release paper such as a silicone release paper
  • uncontrollable bubbles appear in the laminate.
  • a very open (porous) paper such as tissue paper or a paper napkin, as the protective sheet, avoids this by permitting ventilation of the gases created by the heat.
  • the temperature and ironing time are kept within limits (readily determined in any given case by simple experiment), so as to prevent the plastic film from becoming liquid, as it then under the heat and pressure penetrates even the otherwise substantially non-porous surface of the paper sheet base to such an extent it is not possible to separate the two.
  • the image may be applied directly to the non-coated side before application of the plastic film, as by painting, letterpress printing, xerographic printing including the new so-called laser color printers, or in any other manner.
  • the image may be similarly applied to the plastic film.
  • more than one image may be applied, and this normally occurs in color printing.
  • Images may also be applied both to the paper and to the plastic film. If a pre-formed film is to be laminated to the non-coated side of the paper, it could carry image(s) on either or both sides.
  • the image(s) can be transferred to the desired substrate in a number of different ways.
  • the paper will be wetted, conveniently by soaking in water for a short time (from less than one minute to about five minutes).
  • the film plus wetted paper can be readily manipulated, yet they separate very easily.
  • the wetted paper can be peeled (lifted) off more or less intact. I have found that this separation occurs not only more cleanly but also more rapidly than in the case where the film is applied on the coated side of the paper.
  • the decal sandwich is wetted, the paper removed, and the film-plus-image applied to the substrate.
  • the wetted decal is applied to the substrate (plastic film against the substrate) and the paper then removed.
  • the dry decal is applied to the substrate, then the paper base wetted and removed.
  • the present invention is decalcomania or decals and processes of making and/or using them.
  • the invention also extends to articles having decals, i.e. images, applied thereto by the application of decals made according to this invention.
  • the paper sheets may range in thickness from simple writing paper to considerably thicker paper boards.
  • the coating, plastic film and image layers are quite thin, ranging from less than a mil (one thousandth of an inch) to several mils, e.g., 5 mil, in thickness (0.025 - 0.13 mm).
  • Figure I illustrates the preferred paper sheet base used in the invention.
  • Application of a coating (2) of filler material to one side of a sized paper (1) has caused the pores of the paper to be filled without much effect on the uncoated side 3 of the paper, which is now substantially non-porous but essentially free from coating substance.
  • Suitable size is, among others, starch, gums and polyvinyl alcohol.
  • clay, calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide, together with an adhesive, such as starch, latex polyvinyl acetate and acrylics, may be used. It is within the skill of the art to choose formulations and application procedures suitable to prepare papers for use in this invention.
  • Figure II illustrates the paper of Figure I, upon the uncoated side (3) of which a plastic film (4) has been applied. Most conveniently this may be done by coating with an emulsion of a film-forming polymer, e.g., an acrylic emulsion of, say, 40 to 50 weight per cent solids, the remainder being largely water.
  • a film-forming polymer e.g., an acrylic emulsion of, say, 40 to 50 weight per cent solids, the remainder being largely water.
  • Such emulsions are available commercially in a great variety of formulations in which the particular polymer or mixture of polymers, emulsifiers, plasticizers, air-activated polymerization catalysts, cross-linking agents, etc. and their concentrations are chosen to give optimum balance of properties for various uses.
  • the liquid formulation quickly dries, in air or with the aid of a heating oven, to a solid plastic film that does not penetrate the non-porous surface of the paper.
  • the paper when wet with water, is easily releasable from the film.
  • other plastics in liquid form may be used, or pre-formed plastic films may be laminated to the paper surface, normally with the aid if heat and/or adhesive.
  • Figure III shows the paper of Figure I, upon the non-coated side (3) of which have been applied, in succession, an image (5) and a plastic film (4).
  • a plastic film onto which an image has first been applied could also be applied to surface (3) to give a decal represented by Figure III.
  • Figures III and IV the film (4) and image (5) are shown as discrete layers. Depending on their natures and thicknesses, in practice they may tend to blend into a film layer in which the components may not appear, even with magnification, to be separate.
  • Figure III shows that if image is applied first, the film will tend to fill any interstices and be in direct contact with the paper surface. In any event, because the pores of the paper were filled, neither the plastic film nor the image has penetrated the paper surface which, therefore, when wetted is easily releasable form both image and plastic film.
  • the ink layer may co-polymerize or cross-link with the film or be absorbed thereby, resulting in a plastic film with the image forming an integral part thereof.
  • the film/image released as shown in Figure V can be dried and applied to a substrate, usually employing an adhesive.
  • PVE polyvinyl chloride
  • polyurethane film it can be adhered to windows or other glass for decoration, or to a chalkboard in the school room for instruction, solely by clinging to the surface, presumably by electrostatic charges.
  • Figure VI shows the application of the decal of Figure IV, wetted, to a substrate (6), which could be glass, ceramic, wood, paper, or any other solid material.
  • the paper base (1) is shown being peeled away, i.e., lifted, from the film/image (4/5) on the substrate (6).
  • Figure VII shows a special application of this invention, used in conjunction with the invention disclosed in my copending United States patent application Serial No. 07/061,199 filed June 10, 1987, and my related European published application EP-A1-0 249 486, the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
  • An intermediate transfer sheet to carry the film/image from a decal of the present invention to an ultimate use.
  • An intermediate carrier is needed whenever one wishes to transfer a picture that has been printed "right".
  • the transferred image will appear in reverse, i.e., as a mirror image.
  • a transfer support intermediate carrier
  • a paper sheet base with porous surface may have applied to it a plastic film that will adhere well to the porous surface and adopt the texture of the same but not penetrate it, and that when the paper sheet base has been saturated with water the adhesion to the plastic film will be substantially released but they will withstand substantial forces in the plane of the sheet without causing separation. This allows ready handling of the decal sandwich, yet when it has been applied to the desired substrate the wet paper sheet base is easily lifted from the plastic film.
  • Figure VIII shows the decal of Figure VII, after the paper (1) has been removed and the image/film (5/4) covered with a heat achieved adhesive polyester film (9), over which an ironing tissue (10) has been placed.
  • Figure IX shows Figure VIII after the heat activated adhesive film (9) has been ironed on to the image/film (5/4), and the intermediate carrier paper (7), as well as the ironing tissue (10) have been removed by soaking in water. Like the decal shown in Figure V, this one may be used for overhead projection, and will cling to a number of surfaces if wetted slightly.
  • Figure X shows the decal of Figure IX applied on a substrate (6), such as a T-shirt, the film/image (4/5) firmly adhering to the fabric by means of the heat activated adhesive film (9).
  • one of the following two papers was used as the one-side coated paper sheet base; they are similar and give substantially equivalent results: - Kimberly-Clark 100 gram paper. Sized from both sides with starch. Coated on one side with pigment plus adhesive binder. The white coating pigment is largely clay, with small amounts of calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide. - Similar paper from San Rafael S.A. de C.V. Both of these papers are made in Mexico and can be purchased on the open market.
  • a magazine picture was transferred to a wood plaque in the following manner:
  • a photocopy of a woodworking pattern was first copied on a sheet of transparent plastic, whereafter the resultant transparency was copied on to a paper in accordance with Figure I non-coated side, on which surface it appeared in reverse, i.e., as a mirror image.
  • the pattern thereafter, was given two coats of acrylic polymer emulsion, and the coating cured by placing a release paper over it, when dry to the touch, and ironing with a domestic flat-iron at polyester setting for 2 minutes.
  • the piece of wood was also given a coat of the acrylic polymer emulsion in the area where the pattern was to be applied.
  • the coated photocopy was submerged in water for 5 minutes, whereafter it was removed and pressed down in the desired position on the piece of wood, face down.
  • the support sheet was removed, leaving the pattern clinging to the coated wood surface.
  • the transfer was wiped clean and dry and air bubbles sponged out, whereafter it was given a coat of the same acrylic polymer emulsion. After a while, the transfer surface became dry to the touch, while the underside became tacky, through molecular migration, the bond obtaining full strength in a matter of 24 hours.
  • a color laser copy was obtained on the non-coated side of a paper in accordance with Figure I, the copy appearing in reverse, i.e., as a mirror image, which had been achieved by placing the negative, from which the copy was made, in reverse in the copying machine.
  • the picture was given two coats of acrylic emulsion, which layer was then cured in the manner stated in Example 4.
  • the sheet was thereafter submerged in water for 5 minutes, whereafter it was placed on a paper towel, face up, cleaned and given a coat of acrylic polymer emulsion. While the emulsion was still wet, the sheet was placed in desired position on a sheet of art canvas, face down. Heat and pressure was applied, utilizing a heat transfer machine. Water was, thereafter, applied to the support paper, which was removed in a matter of seconds, leaving the picture firmly adhering to the canvas, having adopted its texture.
  • tissue paper In order not to destroy the PVC film surface, it was covered with tissue paper, and the time and temperature of the lamination so adjusted that the tissue paper stuck to the surface of the PVC film, but could still be removed with water.
  • the laminate was submerged in water for a few minutes, whereafter the tissue and the support shoot were removed, leaving the picture adhering to the PVC surface, in reverse if viewed from the picture side, and right if seen through the film.
  • the film with the transfer was thereafter placed with the picture against the uncoated surface of a sheet of white adhesive coated vinyl, having a release liner protecting the adhesive side.
  • the laminate was covered with a tissue paper and ironed with a domestic flat iron for 20 seconds at an iron setting between wool and cotton.
  • the tissue paper was thereafter removed with a sponge and some water, leaving the transferred picture adhering to the sheet of white PVC film, protected by the transparent film to which the picture was originally transferred, the end product laminate being a so-called bumpersticker.
  • the release liner of the white PVC film is first removed, whereafter the adhesive film carrying the picture is applied on the bumper or other desired surface.
  • the pattern was, thereafter, covered with a heat curable polyvinyl acetate based paste to protect it and to make the transfer soft, the paste remaining creamy until heated.
  • the decal was then placed in desired position on a sweatshirt, with the white polyurethane film in contact with the fabric.
  • the laminate was covered with a silicone coated release paper and ironed-on to the sweatshirt, utilizing a domestic iron at "cotton" setting during 60 seconds. After a period of cooling, the release paper was removed, leaving the transferred pattern integrated with the fabric, ready for painting.
  • PVA polyvinyl acetate
  • the laminate was submerged in water for a few minutes, whereafter the support sheet was removed, the print adhering to the polyurethane film, in reverse.
  • the film was, thereafter, placed on a paper towel, reverse picture up. This was cleaned, whereafter it was covered with another 1 mil (0.025 mm) transparent polyurethane film which was then laminated over the reverse picture, by covering with a paper napkin and using a domestic iron, at "wool" setting, for 20 seconds.
  • the laminate was then trimmed to the desired shape, whereafter it was placed reverse side down in position on the T-shirt, covered with a release paper, and ironed-on to the fabric for 60 seconds at "cotton.” After a period of cooling, the release paper was removed, leaving the decal integrated in the fabric of the T-shirt.
