Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'estampage de film selon lequel une surface d'un produit à imprimer (D) est d'abord pourvue d'une couche adhésive dans les zones prévues pour l'impression, puis un film de transfert (9) composé d'un film support et d'une couche de transfert adhérant au film support au moyen d'une couche de séparation est appliqué sur le produit à imprimer (D) sous l'effet d'une pression, la couche de transfert restant collée sur le produit à imprimer (D) dans les zones prévues pour l'impression. Le procédé est caractérisé en ce qu'avant impression de film, à la place ou en plus de la couche adhésive, une colle d'application est appliquée sur le produit à imprimer (D) dans les zones prévues pour un pseudo-estampage en relief, et l'application de pression lors de l'impression de film est réalisée uniformément sur toute la surface du produit à imprimer (D), c'est à dire également sur les zones saillantes courbées à estampage en relief et sur le reste du produit à imprimer (D). L'invention concerne par ailleurs un dispositif d'estampage de film pour le transfert d'une couche de transfert adhérant à un film support dans les zones prévues pour l'impression sur un produit à imprimer (D) comportant un élément de transport (1) pour le produit à imprimer (D), un élément d'application de colle (2) disposé sur l'élément de transport (1), pourvoyant une surface du produit à imprimer (D) d'une couche adhésive dans les zones prévues pour l'impression, un élément de transfert de film (3) comprenant un cylindre de transfert (31), et un élément d'amenée de film (4) affecté à l'élément de transfert de film (3), le cylindre de transfert (31) comprenant une enveloppe élastique de faible épaisseur sur sa surface extérieure.
