Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for ink jet printing items of clothing and accessories, in particular in leather and/or polyurethane.
  • an apparatus for ink jet printing items of clothing and accessories in particular in leather and/or polyurethane, is globally denoted with 4.
  • the apparatus 4 comprises at least one ink jet printing head 8 slidable along a longitudinal printing axis L-L, and a base 12 for supporting at least one item of clothing or accessory 16 to be printed.
  • the item of clothing or accessory 16 is supported by a support device 20, electrically connected to the charging plate 14.
  • the apparatus 4 comprises electrostatic charging means 24 electrically connected to the printing head 8 and to the at least one charging plate 14, so as to charge the printing head 8 and the at least one charging plate 14, and by means thereof, the support device 20, with opposite electrostatic charges.
  • the electrostatic charging means 24 comprise an electrostatic generator with dual polarity +/-, individually selectable.
  • the voltage value provided by said electrostatic generator is preferably in the range of 4 KV to 20 KV, for example, viewable on the integrated display.
  • the at least one charging plate 14 comprises a plurality of resistors connected in parallel with said electrostatic charging means 24.
  • a plurality of charging plates 14 comprising a plurality of resistors or pins all connected in parallel with said electrostatic charging means 24 is provided.
  • the at least one charging plate 14 is at least partially covered with a layer of ionizing dark rubber 28 in which said resistors or pins are embedded.
  • said ionizing dark rubber layer 28 comprises epoxy resins and two-component mixing rubber.
  • the at least one charging plate 14 is electrically connected to the electrostatic charging means 24 by means of at least one insertion plug 32.
  • This type of connection a plug-in type, is very useful in that it allows the single electrostatic charging plate 24 to be connected and disconnected quickly, for example to make a replacement, without having to interrupt the operation of the other charging plates 14 in the apparatus 4.
  • the support device 20 comprises a resting base 44, associated and electrically connected with said at least one charging plate 14, and a cantilevered element 48, with respect to the resting base 44, configured to support the item of clothing or accessory 16 to be printed.
  • the resting base 44 is made of electrically conducting material so as to receive the electrostatic charge from the charging plate 16 with which it is in contact.
  • the cantilevered element 48 is electrically connected to the resting base 44 and is in turn made of electrically conducting material so that it may transfer the electrostatic charge to the item of clothing or accessory 16 it supports and with which it is at least partially in contact.
  • the apparatus 8 is equipped with a first UV ray LED lamp 56 for drying the injected ink, arranged upstream of nozzles of the printing head 8 for the ink jet, along the longitudinal printing axis L-L.
  • the apparatus 8 is provided with a second UV ray LED lamp 60 for drying the injected ink, arranged downstream of nozzles of the printing head 8 for the ink jet, along the longitudinal printing axis L-L.
  • the apparatus 4 comprises a projector 64 having a resting plane 68 for said support device 20 bearing the item of clothing or accessory 16 to be printed, and a projection head 72 configured to previously project the image to be printed directly on the item of clothing or accessory 8 mounted on the support device 20.
  • the resting plane 68 of the projector 64 is configured so as to exactly replicate the position of the support device 20 when positioned on the base 12 for the subsequent printing. In this way, the operator may previously verify the correct centering of the image to be printed with respect to the item of clothing or accessory 16 and thus the correct positioning of the item of clothing or accessory 16 with respect to the support device 20.
  • the apparatus 4 also has a processing and control unit programmed to first centre the image emitted by the projector 64, and then the printing emitted by the printing head 8, on the item of clothing or accessory 8 to be printed.
  • said processing and control unit is programmed to centre and project the image on the item of clothing or accessory 8 as a function of the distance, with respect to said vertical direction Z-Z, between the printing head 8 and the item of clothing or accessory 16 during the subsequent printing step.
  • said processing and control unit is programmed to control the injection of ink and the activation of said UV ray LED lamps 56,60 after each passage and injection of ink of the printing head 8 on the item of clothing or accessory 16 to be printed.
  • the apparatus 4 comprises a charging plate 14 or inductive plate, supplied with high voltage (> 10 KV) and low amperometric value, on which metal support devices 20 suitable for holding/supporting items of clothing or accessories 16, such as footwear or other dielectric objects, such as leather, plastic, wood are positioned.
  • a charging plate 14 or inductive plate supplied with high voltage (> 10 KV) and low amperometric value, on which metal support devices 20 suitable for holding/supporting items of clothing or accessories 16, such as footwear or other dielectric objects, such as leather, plastic, wood are positioned.
  • the inductive charge is transferred from the charging plate 14, by means of the resistors or pins immersed in the insulation itself, to the metal support. This results in an electrostatic "polarization" of the dielectric object (i.e., the item of clothing or accessory 16) supported by the sign corresponding to the voltage supplied.
  • the voltage value in KV may preferably be varied up to a maximum of 20 KV by the generator used.
  • the method of printing an item of clothing or accessory 16 comprises the steps of:
  • Printing performed in this way is smudge-free because, due to the electrostatic attraction between the ink of the printing head 8 and the item of clothing or accessory 16 (which are charged with electrical charges opposite to each other), the ink is not able to expand in a cone shape, as is usually the case in the injection heads of the prior art, so that it may be directed extremely precisely onto the surface to be printed, especially if said surface is irregular and inclined.
  • the method may comprise the steps of:
  • the method may also comprise the steps of:
  • the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the cone of the injected ink is reduced until it is vertical/perpendicular to the point of printing, ensuring detail and quality, even at points farthest from the printing head, along said vertical direction.
  • the printing applications of the apparatus and method of the present invention are virtually unlimited since, by appropriately calibrating the intensity of the electrostatic charges applied to the printing head and charging plates, it is possible to print effectively and without smudging on an item of clothing or accessory having any type and/or geometric conformation.
  • the apparatus is easy to use: if one charging plate fails, it may be replaced without compromising the operation of the others.
