Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the simple and lasting transfer of colour motifs with all shades of colour onto candles or other wax-like objects, for e.g. plates for the production of wax images, as well as the simple, lasting and, in particular, dish-washer proof transfer of coloured motifs with all shades of colour onto objects made of ceramics, but also of porcelain, glass, aluminium, metal, tin, wood or synthetic materials, and objects which have been printed in accordance with this method.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Bedrucken von Gegenständen, insbesondere zum Bedrucken von Kerzen oder anderen Gegenständen aus Wachs oder ähnlichen Werkstoffen mit farbigen Motiven.The invention relates to a method for printing on Objects, especially for printing candles or other objects made of wax or similar materials with colored Motives.

Bisher war es nur möglich, mittels Siebdruck Kerzen mit einfarbigen Motiven zu bedrucken, mit Abziehbildern oder aufwendig mit Papierbildern zu verzieren. US-A-4 030 959 beschreibt die Übertragung von Bildern von einem mittels Tiefdruck oder Lithographie bedruckten wachsbeschichteten Transferpapier auf Kerzenoberflächen.So far it was only possible to use candles using screen printing to print monochrome motifs, with decals or to decorate with paper pictures. US-A-4 030 959 describes the transfer of images from wax-coated transfer paper printed by gravure or lithography to candle surfaces.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist gekennzeichnet durch die Schritte

  • a) erstellen einer seitenverkehrten Kopie des gewünschten Motivs mittels eines Farbkopierers auf wachsbeschichtetem Transferpapier,
  • b) fixieren der Kopie auf dem Gegenstand, und
  • c) anpressen der Kopie auf den Gegenstand mittels geeignet geformten Werkzeugen.
    • The method according to the invention is characterized by the steps
  • a) make a reversed copy of the desired motif using a color copier on wax-coated transfer paper,
  • b) fix the copy on the object, and
  • c) pressing the copy onto the object using suitably shaped tools.

    • Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erlaubt nunmehr die einfache und dauerhafte Übertragung von farbigen Motiven mit allen Farbnuancen auf Kerzen oder andere wachsartige Gegenstände, wie z.B. Platten zur Erstellung von Wachsbildern.The method according to the invention now allows simple and permanent transfer of colored motifs with all Shades of color on candles or other waxy objects, such as e.g. Plates for creating wax pictures.

    Als Werkstoff bezüglich bedruckter Kerzen oder Gegenstände aus ähnlichem Material kommen alle zur Kerzenherstellung üblichen Grundstoffe in Frage, wie z.B. Talg, Walrat, Bienenwachs, Stearin oder Paraffin.As a material related to printed candles or objects Similar material comes all the usual for candle production Basic materials in question, such as Tallow, walrus, beeswax, Stearin or paraffin.

    Zum Bedrucken wird zunächst mittels eines Farbkopierers eine seitenverkehrte Kopie des gewünschten Motivs auf wachsbeschichtetem Transferdruckpapier erstellt. Diese Kopie wird entsprechend der Größe des zu bedruckenden Gegenstandes zurechtgeschnitten und auf dem Gegenstand fixiert. Anschließend wird der Gegenstand in ein entsprechend geformtes Druckwerkzeug eingelegt, wobei die Oberfläche der Rückseite durch eingelegtes Dämpfungsmaterial geschont werden kann.For printing, a color copier is used first upside down copy of the desired motif wax-coated transfer printing paper. This copy will be according to the size of the object to be printed cut to size and fixed on the object. Subsequently the object is placed in an appropriately shaped printing tool inserted, the surface of the back by inlaid Damping material can be spared.

    Im Falle des Bedruckens von Kerzen etc. wird dann das Oberteil des Druckwerkzeuges mit einem Druck von 3 - 30 bar, bevorzugt 10 - 25 bar und besonders bevorzugt mit 15 - 20 bar für 10 - 90 Sekunden, bevorzugt 20 - 65 Sekunden und besonders bevorzugt für 30 Sekunden auf den zu bedruckenden Gegenstand aufgesetzt, wobei es auf 60 bis 200°C, bevorzugt auf 75 - 180°C und besonders bevorzugt auf 115 - 154°C erhitzt ist.In the case of printing candles, etc., the upper part the pressure tool with a pressure of 3 - 30 bar, preferred 10 - 25 bar and particularly preferably 15 - 20 bar for 10 - 90 Seconds, preferably 20-65 seconds and particularly preferred placed on the object to be printed for 30 seconds, wherein it is at 60 to 200 ° C, preferably at 75 - 180 ° C and is particularly preferably heated to 115-154 ° C.

    Nach dem Erkalten des Transfer-Papiers läßt sich dieses mühelos vom bedruckten Gegenstand abziehen und man erhält einen mit einer überraschenden Qualität und Farbigkeit bedruckten Gegenstand.After the transfer paper has cooled, it can be effortlessly removed Subtract from the printed object and you get one with printed with a surprising quality and color Object.
