[Embodiment of the invention]

 The food sample model of the present invention is formed by attaching a sheet on which an image is formed to a three-dimensional food sample model material shaped like a food. A three-dimensional object such as a sheet is attached to a three-dimensional object called a food sample model material in order to achieve both a three-dimensional effect and a realistic effect.

The image is a digital image obtained by capturing a photograph of the actual food taken by a digital camera or the like into a computer in that colors that are closer to the real thing are possible and that the same model can be created between the models. It is preferably an image. In the case of a model of the same type, a digitally processed image obtained by digitally processing the digital image is more advantageous in that processing such as different colors can be easily performed and that an image can be expressed according to a request such as deformation. preferable. Digital processing includes trimming, adjusting light and dark, adjusting sharpness and softness, adjusting contrast, adjusting edges, and removing noise.By performing these processes on a digital image, the digitally processed image can be processed. can get. By performing such processing, a more realistic planar image can be obtained. Printing of such an image can be performed using, for example, an electronic image forming apparatus manufactured by Roland.

It is preferable that the sheet includes at least a base sheet and an ink receiving layer, and a cut is formed along a contour shape of the image. Along the above-mentioned cuts, portions of the ink receiving layer where no image is formed can be removed. In this way, when the base sheet is separated from the ink receiving layer and the image layer, only the image portion can be attached to the food sample model material, so that an extra ink receiving layer is removed in the finishing process. No process is required, and the process is simplified. In addition, it can be attached to a material having a three-dimensional shape as in the present invention, with less twist.

The sheet used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a water transfer sheet and a heat transfer sheet.

The thermal transfer sheet preferably has a substrate sheet, and an ink receiving layer and an image layer laminated on the surface of the substrate sheet.

The base sheet can be used without any particular limitation as long as it is used in the production of a normal thermal transfer sheet. Specifically, paper such as plain paper, woodfree paper and coated paper, Synthetic paper obtained by mixing an inorganic filler or the like with a synthetic resin, a polyolefin-based resin such as polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and polypropylene, and a synthetic resin sheet made of polycarbonate, polyamide, and the like can be used. Further, the thickness is preferably 20 to 200 μm, more preferably 100 to 200 μm.

The ink receiving layer is not particularly limited, but is made of, for example, an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, a urethane resin, a polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, a urea resin, a melamine resin, or a guanamine resin. Film can be used. When a thermosetting resin film such as a urea-based resin, a melamine-based resin, or a guanamine-based resin is used, heat bonding can be performed in addition to the bonding by the release layer. When a film prepared by mixing ceramics with the thermosetting resin is used, the film is hardened by thermal processing and is hardly peeled off. Further, when a heat-shrinkable film such as a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyethylene resin, a polypropylene resin, a polyvinylidene chloride resin, and a polystyrene resin is used, even when a food sample model material having a complicated shape is used, the film can be formed at the time of heat processing. It can adhere and prevent film wrinkles. The ink receiving layer may be transparent, translucent, or opaque, but is preferably mixed with a white pigment or the like from the viewpoint of clearly forming an image. Further, the thickness is preferably 5 to 100 μm, more preferably 10 to 50 μm.

The image layer can be formed using, but not limited to, a toner, a printer using an ink-jet or hot-melt ribbon, a thermal sublimation printer, an airbrush, screen printing or offset printing.

The heat transfer sheet is prepared by placing a heat transfer sheet on a food sample model material prepared in advance, and then heating and pressing the ink to obtain the food sample model of the present invention.

Further, the water transfer sheet includes a water-permeable base sheet, a water-soluble release layer formed on the surface of the base sheet, an ink-receiving layer sequentially laminated on the surface of the release layer, and an image transfer layer. It is preferable that the image layer is laminated.

As the base sheet, a sheet having water permeability is preferably used. For example, there are mounts such as art paper, cardboard, and paperboard, and plastic films such as polyvinyl alcohol film and cellulose acetate film having high moisture permeability. Further, the thickness is preferably 20 to 200 μm, more preferably 100 to 200 μm.

Further, the water-soluble release layer temporarily adheres the base sheet to the ink receiving layer and the image layer and can release them in the presence of water. The material is not particularly limited as long as it can bond the ink receiving layer and the image layer. For example, dextrin, starch, glue, gelatin, poval, and the like can be used. The thickness is preferably 5 to 100 μm, and more preferably 50 to 100 μm.

The ink receiving layer and the image layer are the same as those of the thermal transfer sheet.

The water transfer sheet obtained as described above is immersed in water or lukewarm water, and the base sheet is separated from the ink receiving layer and the image layer. Next, the food sample model of the present invention is obtained by attaching the ink receiving layer and the image layer to a food sample model material prepared in advance.

The present invention is particularly preferable as a food sample model of fish and meat, which are conventionally complicated in color, require a long time to be colored manually, and are likely to cause individual differences between the models.

Further, one embodiment of the present invention using the water transfer sheet will be described with reference to FIG.

First, an actual food product for making a sample model is put into a mold, and the original shape is molded with silicon. After taking out the actual product, pour soft vinyl chloride into the obtained silicon concave mold. Then, baking is performed, and the soft vinyl chloride is cured to obtain a food sample model material 4.

In addition, the water transfer sheet 1 in which a water-soluble release layer and an ink receiving layer are sequentially laminated on the base sheet 2 is photographed by a digital camera, and an image corrected by a computer is printed by a special printer. Then, an image layer is formed (FIG. 1A). The obtained water transfer sheet 1 is immersed in water, and the base sheet 2 is separated from the ink receiving layer and the image layer 3 (FIG. 1B). Here, since a cut is formed in the base sheet 2 and the ink receiving layer along the shape slightly larger than the outline of the image, only the image portion is separated from the base sheet 2. Can be. The exfoliated ink receiving layer and image layer 3 are attached to the food sample model material 4 (FIG. 1 (c)), dried and modified to obtain a food sample model of the present invention (FIG. 1 (d)).

Further, from the viewpoint of obtaining durability, it is preferable to apply a coating to the obtained food sample model by thermocompression bonding, coating or clear coating.
