In particular, the method according to the invention relates to the area of either textile piece printing or textile yard goods printing. Piece printing refers to the printing of finished textiles such as T-shirts, the meter printing refers to the printing of rolls and web material made of textiles, the surfaces of which do not have sufficient affinity from the start to absorb dyes, especially from transfer paper.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Transferdruckverfahren oder Thermodruckverfahren sind in den folgenden technischen Informationen der Firma Michael Huber GmbH ausführlich beschrieben:

  • 1. Technische Information Nr. 40.02 vom August 1989: "Transferdruck - Allgemeine Verfahrensbeschreibung;
  • 2. Technische Information Nr. 40.05 vom Oktober 1989: "Transferdruck - Transferfarben für den Bogenoffset-druck;
  • 3. Technische Information Nr. 40.06-1 - 40-06-7 vom Oktober 1989; "Transferdruck auf Baumwolle".
Transfer printing processes or thermal printing processes are described in detail in the following technical information from Michael Huber GmbH:
  • 1. Technical Information No. 40.02 from August 1989: "Transfer printing - general process description;
  • 2. Technical Information No. 40.05 from October 1989: "Transfer printing - transfer inks for sheetfed offset printing;
  • 3. Technical Information No. 40.06-1 - 40-06-7, October 1989; "Transfer printing on cotton".

Das Transferdruckverfahren besteht prinzipiell darin, daß Druckfarben mit sublimierbaren Farbstoffen zunächst auf Papier gedruckt werden und beim anschließenden Umdruckverfahren lediglich die Farbstoffe unter Hitzeanwendung auf Textilien oder andere Substrate übertragen werden. Anstelle von Papier kann unter Umständen auch ein anderes geeignetes Material verwendet werden.The principle of the transfer printing process is that printing inks with sublimable dyes are first printed on paper and in the subsequent transfer printing process only the dyes are transferred onto textiles or other substrates using heat will. Instead of paper, another suitable material can also be used under certain circumstances.

In der technischen Information Nr. 40.01, August 1989 der Firma Michael Huber München GmbH ist unter dem Abschnitt "Einsatzgebiet" im einzelnen erläutert, daß der mit der Druckfarbe auf das Papier applizierte sublimierbare Farbstoff beim anschließenden Umdruck bei vorgegebenen Umdrucktemperaturen beispielsweise zwischen 190 und 220° C unmittelbar vom festen in den gasförmigen Zustand übergeht (Sublimation) und hierbei monomolekular vorliegt. Der Transferdruck funktioniert bei Substraten aus bestimmten Werkstoffen und Materialien, welche dadurch, daß sie beim Umdruckprozeß ebenfalls aufgeheizt werden, das Eindringen der Farbstoffmoleküle in ihren eigenen Molekülverband erlauben und den Farbstoff dort bereits während des Umdruckes fixieren. Zu Materialien dieser Art gehören in erster Linie synthetische Fasern, vor allem Fasern aus Polyester, Polyamiden, Polyacrylnitril und Triacetrat.In the technical information no. 40.01, August 1989 of the Michael Huber Munich GmbH company, under the section "field of application" it is explained in detail that the sublimable dye applied to the paper with the printing ink during the subsequent transfer printing at predetermined transfer printing temperatures, for example between 190 and 220 ° C changes directly from the solid to the gaseous state (sublimation) and is monomolecular. Transfer printing works with substrates made of certain materials, which, because they are also heated during the transfer printing process, allow the dye molecules to penetrate into their own molecular structure and fix the dye there during the transfer printing. Materials of this type primarily include synthetic fibers, especially fibers made of polyester, polyamides, polyacrylonitrile and triacetrate.

Dagegen haben Substrate wie Gewebe aus Naturfasern oder überwiegendem Naturfaseranteil von vorneherein keine ausreichende Affinität zu dem vom Transferpapier auf das Substrat zu transferierenden Farbstoffen.In contrast, substrates such as fabrics made from natural fibers or predominant natural fiber content do not have sufficient affinity from the outset for the dyes to be transferred from the transfer paper to the substrate.

Zu Materialien, deren Oberflächen eine nicht ausreichende Affinität zum Farbstoff haben, gehören z. B. auch Glas, Porzellan, Plastik oder Holz.Materials whose surfaces have an insufficient affinity for the dye include e.g. B. also glass, porcelain, plastic or wood.

In der technischen Information Nr. 40.05 vom Oktober 1989 der Firma Michael Huber München GmbH wird unter dem Abschnitt "Substrate für den Transferdruck" darauf hingewiesen, daß Gewebe aus Naturfasern (Baumwolle, Wolle, Seide, Leinen) oder mit überwiegendem Naturfaseranteil sowie Gewebe aus regenerierten Zellulosefasern nicht oder nur nach entsprechender Vorbehandlung mittels Transferdruck bedruckt werden können. Im einzelnen wird in der technischen Information Nr. 40.06-2 vom Oktober 1989 der Firma Michael Huber München GmbH, "Transferdruck auf Baumwolle", erläutert, daß zur Vorbehandlung von Geweben aus Baumwolle eine Rezeptur angewendet werden kann, welche in erster Linie Harz und noch einige weitere Komponenten enthält.In the technical information no. 40.05 from October 1989 of the company Michael Huber Munich GmbH under the section "substrates for transfer printing" it is pointed out that fabrics made from natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk, linen) or with a predominant natural fiber content as well as fabrics made from regenerated materials Cellulose fibers cannot be printed or can only be printed using transfer printing after appropriate pretreatment. The technical information no. 40.06-2 dated October 1989 of the Michael Huber company in Munich GmbH, "Transfer printing on cotton", explains that a recipe can be used for the pretreatment of fabrics made of cotton, which primarily contains resin and some other components.

Mit einer derartigen Rezeptur wird das Gewebe vorbehandelt und sodann getrocknet, so daß es für einen anschließenden Transferdruckprozeß präpariert ist.With such a formulation, the fabric is pretreated and then dried so that it is prepared for a subsequent transfer printing process.

In der praktischen Anwendung von auf die wie vorstehend erläuterte Art und Weise vorbehandelten und bedruckten Stoffen aus Baumwolle oder aus Baumwollmischungen hat es sich jedoch als außerordentlich nachteilig erwiesen, daß das Harz die Gewebeoberflächen wie mit einer Art von Haut oder Film verschließt, so daß das resultierende Gewebe bzw. die aus diesem Gewebe hergestellten Textilien nicht mehr ausreichend atmungsaktiv sind d. h. als nicht mehr ausreichend luft- und schweißdurchlässig sind. Dies hat zur Folge, daß die Endprodukte in Form von Kleidungsstücken, wie z. B Baumwoll-T-Shirts oder dergleichen mehr praktisch keinen Tragekomfort mehr aufweisen.However, in practical use of cotton or cotton blend fabrics pretreated and printed in the manner described above, it has been found to be extremely disadvantageous that the resin seals the fabric surfaces as with some type of skin or film so that the resultant Fabrics or the textiles made from this fabric are no longer sufficiently breathable, ie are no longer sufficiently permeable to air and sweat. As a result, the end products in the form of garments such. B Cotton T-shirts or the like are practically no longer comfortable to wear.

Aus der Wo 92/08839 ist desweiteren ein Bedruckungsvorfahren bekannt, bei welchem harzhaltige Bestandteile auf das in Verbindung eines Transfer-Druckverfahrens verwendete Transferdruckpapier aufgebracht werden. Bei der Bedruckung von Geweben soll die nachteilige Veränderung der Griffeigenschaften der Gewebe durch die Aufbringung der harzhaltigen Substanzen dadurch gemildert werden, daß zusätzliche Schmierstoffsubstanzen verwendet werden. Das hier vorgeschlagene Bedruckungsverfahren ist somit zur Bedruckung von Geweben nur in eingeschränktem Umfang geeignet.From WO 92/08839 a printing process is also known in which resinous components are applied to the transfer printing paper used in connection with a transfer printing process. When printing on fabrics, the disadvantageous change in the grip properties of the fabrics by the application of the resinous substances should be alleviated by using additional lubricant substances. The printing method proposed here is therefore only suitable to a limited extent for printing on fabrics.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein neues und verbessertes Verfahren zum Bedrucken von Substraten mittels Transfer-Druckverfahren anzugeben, wobei davon ausgegangen wird, daß diese Substrate aus Materialien bestehen, deren Oberflächen von vornherein keine ausreichende Affinität zu den vom Transferpapier auf das Substrat zu transferierenden Farbstoffen aufweisen. Mit Rücksicht hierauf sollen Verfahrensmaßnahmen angegeben werden, welche nun gerade das Bedrucken von Substraten der vorgenannten Art mittels Transfer-Druckverfahren erlauben. Insbesondere soll im Hinblick auf die wie oben Schwierigkeiten beim Bedrucken von geweben aus Naturfasern bzw. mit überwiegendem Naturfaseranteil ein neuer Weg gewiesen werden, der letztendlich zu Endprodukten mit zufriedenstellendem Tragekomfort führt, d. h. insbesondere zufriedenstellender Atmungsaktivität der resultierenden Kleidungsstücke.The present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a new and improved method for printing substrates by means of transfer printing methods, it being assumed that these substrates consist of materials whose surfaces do not have sufficient affinity from the outset for the transfer paper to the substrate have dyes to be transferred. In view of this, procedural measures are to be specified which now allow the printing of substrates of the aforementioned type by means of transfer printing processes. In particular, in view of the difficulties, as above, when printing on fabrics made of natural fibers or with a predominant proportion of natural fibers, a new way is to be shown, which ultimately leads to end products leads to satisfactory wearing comfort, ie in particular satisfactory breathability of the resulting clothing.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst, vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den nachfolgenden Verfahrensunteransprüchen erläutert.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous developments of the invention are explained in the subordinate claims below.

In Folge des erfindungsgemäßen Auftrages von transparentem, harzfreien Lack werden Oberflächen geschaffen, die nunmehr ohne weiteres für das Bedrucken mittels Transfer-druckverfahren geeignet sind.As a result of the application of transparent, resin-free lacquer according to the invention, surfaces are created which are now readily suitable for printing by means of transfer printing processes.

Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, daß harzfreie Lacke geeignet sind, die Farben aufzunehmen, sie legen sich ausschließlich um die Gewebefäden herum, versiegeln gleichsam die Gewebefasern, halten aber die Poren zwischen Schuß und Kette des Gewebes offen. Das Gewebe behält seinen textilen "Griff", die Atmungsaktivität des Gewebes bzw. Kleidungsstückes bleibt erhalten, die Verharzung des Materials die nicht nur zu einer reduzierten Atmungsaktivität des Kleidungsstückes führen würde, sondern das Kleidungsstück insgesamt auch steift und unansehnlich macht, wird vermieden.Surprisingly, it has been shown that resin-free lacquers are suitable for absorbing the colors, they only lie around the fabric threads, seal the fabric fibers as it were, but keep the pores between the weft and the warp of the fabric open. The fabric retains its textile "grip", the breathability of the fabric or garment is preserved, the resinification of the material, which would not only lead to reduced breathability of the garment, but also makes the garment stiff and unsightly overall.

Unter Umständen ist es auch vorteilhaft, sog. Ormocer-Lacke zu verwenden. Als Ormocere werden sog. "ORganically MOdified CERamics" bezeichnet, die von der Frauenhofer-Gesellschaft entwickelt wurden und eine neue Stoffklasse darstellen, die zwischen anorganischen und organischen Polymeren eingeordnet werden kann. Ormocere werden über den Sol-Gel-Prozeß durch gezielte Hydrolyse und Kondensation von Alcoxiden, vorwiegend des Siliciums, Aluminiums, Titans und Zirkons hergestellt.It may also be advantageous to use so-called Ormocer lacquers. Ormocers are so-called "ORganically Modified Ceramics", which were developed by the Frauenhofer Society and represent a new class of substances that can be classified between inorganic and organic polymers. Ormocers are produced via the sol-gel process through targeted hydrolysis and condensation of alcoxides, mainly silicon, aluminum, titanium and zircon.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn man den Lack nach seinem Auftrag kurz durch Hitzeeinwirkung trocknet oder zumindest weitgehend antrocknet. Vorteilhafterweise werden Lacke auf wasserlöslicher Basis verwendet, durch den Trocknungs- oder Zwischentrocknungsprozeß werden überschüssige Wasseranteile aus der Lackschicht entfernt, so daß der Lack die nachfolgend aufgebrachten Farben besser aufnehmen kann.It is particularly advantageous if the lacquer is briefly dried by heat or at least largely dried after it has been applied. Varnishes on a water-soluble basis are advantageously used; the drying or intermediate drying process removes excess water from the varnish layer, so that the varnish can better absorb the subsequently applied colors.

Die Lacke, die nach den Ansprüchen ausgewählt und als besonders geeignet definiert sind, um das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren durchzuführen, sind in die Gruppe der umweltfreundlichen Lacke einzustufen, besitzen aber überraschenderweise Eigenschaften, die eine Vielzahl von Wasch- und Reinigungsvorgängen der erfindungsgemäß bedruckten Gewebestücke erlauben, ohne daß der textile Griff oder die Qualität des aufgedruckten Bildes sichtbar leidet. Von unabhängigen Instituten durchgeführte Tests an erfindungsgemäß bedruckten Textilstücken haben ergeben, daß bei Vorgabe einer Skala von 0 (extrem schlechte Werte) - 8 (extrem gute Werte, die sehr selten erreicht werden), Echtheitswerte mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Druckverfahren zwischen 5 und 7 relativ problemlos erreicht werden können. Damit hebt sich das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren nicht nur vom Stand der Technik dadurch ab, daß es den textilen Charakter, den Tragekomfort und die Hautfreundlichkeit des Stückes gewährleistet, auch die Haltbarkeit des Drucks auf dem textilen Stück ist weit besser als bei den meisten Druckverfahren nach dem Stand der Technik, die meist auf Siebdruckbasis durchgeführt werden.The varnishes which are selected according to the claims and are defined as particularly suitable for carrying out the process according to the invention are to be classified in the group of environmentally friendly varnishes, but surprisingly have properties which allow a large number of washing and cleaning processes for the fabric pieces printed according to the invention, without that the textile feel or the quality of the printed image is visibly impaired. Tests carried out by independent institutes on pieces of textile printed according to the invention have shown that, given a scale from 0 (extremely bad values) to 8 (extremely good values which are very rarely achieved), authenticity values between 5 and 7 are achieved relatively easily with the printing method according to the invention can be. Thus, the method according to the invention not only stands out from the prior art in that it ensures the textile character, the wearing comfort and the skin-friendliness of the piece, the durability of the print on the textile piece is also far better than in most printing processes according to the prior art the technology that is mostly carried out on screen printing.

Die Erfindung ist anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert, das wie folgt durchgeführt wird.The invention is explained using an exemplary embodiment which is carried out as follows.

Auf die zu bedruckenden Oberflächen von fertigen, aus Baumwolle bestehenden T-Shirts wird Lack aufgetragen, der frei von natürlichen Harzen ist. Dieser Lack wird unmittelbar nach seinem Auftrag mit einer Bügelpresse kurz angetrocknet. Sodann kann auf den lackierten Abschnitt des Gewebes in üblicher Weise Transferdruckpapier aufgelegt werden, dies wird über ca. 15 - 30 sec. auf übliches Offset-Druckpapier aufgelegt und bei einer Temperatur zwischen 150 und 250° - je nach Druckpapier und Gewebe in einer Bügelpresse angepresst.Varnish that is free from natural resins is applied to the surfaces of finished T-shirts made of cotton. This lacquer is dried briefly with an ironing press immediately after it has been applied. Then transfer printing paper can be placed on the lacquered section of the fabric in the usual way, this is placed on customary offset printing paper for about 15-30 seconds and pressed at a temperature between 150 and 250 ° - depending on the printing paper and fabric - in an ironing press .

Nach Abziehen des Druckpapiers verbleibt ein farbintensiver Druck auf der lackierten Oberfläche, im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Verfahren, bei denen eine Vorbehandlungsschicht auf Harzbasis aufgetragen wird, unterscheidet sich der Griff des bedruckten Textilabschnittes nicht von dem "Griff" von nichtbedruckten Abschnitten, das Textilstück hat seinen einheitlichen Charakter behalten.After the printing paper has been peeled off, a color-intensive print remains on the painted surface, in contrast to conventional processes in which a pretreatment layer based on resin is applied, the handle of the printed textile section does not differ from the "handle" of unprinted sections, the textile piece has its uniform Keep character.
