Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The material used for conventional thermal transfer is mainly paper, and therefore it can only be transferred to a limited number of objects, and it is not possible to create a glossy full-color transfer surface.

Especially when transferred to cloth, it cannot withstand dry cleaning or washing.

This invention uses a release film instead of release paper in order to provide a transfer material that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks, provides gloss, can withstand both dry and water washing, and allows full-color transfer printing on all materials. The aim was to create a transfer material that could provide a full-color transfer copy surface.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail.

On the release agent film 2 of the film 1 coated with a release agent, a glossy resin agent is applied, which is ineffective when applied to conventional transfer paper because it penetrates too much, and this glossy resin film 3 is applied.
Full-color copying or full-color printing is performed on the copy surface or printing surface 4, and a polysol-based resin that is dry cleaning resistant and water resistant is coated on the copy surface 4 to form a dry water resistant resin film 5.
This relates to a thermal transfer film characterized in that the copied or printed surface is sandwiched between a glossy resin film 3 and a polysol resin film 5 to protect the copied or printed surface. It is. In particular, even when the above-mentioned glossy resin agent is used in conventional transfer paper, it penetrates and produces no glossy effect, but in the present invention, since a film is used, a glossy surface can be created without penetrating.

Next, transcription will be explained.

This thermal transfer film is placed on the transfer target 7 with the film 1 coated with a release agent facing up, and heated with a hot iron 8.
Press one side of the film to transfer. When the top film 1 is peeled off, there is a glossy resin film 3 on top.
Below that is a copy surface or printing surface 4, and below that is a polysol resin film 5 with dry cleaning resistance and water resistance.
A hot melt adhesive is placed below it, that is, at the bottom, and this hot melt adhesive 6 adheres to the object 7 to be transferred.

Since there is a glossy resin film on the copy and print surfaces, the copy and print surfaces are glossy and the finish is as beautiful as a photograph. Furthermore, since the transfer film of the present invention can be printed and copied, it can be printed using offset and gravure printing machines, and full-color copies can be made using a color copier. Therefore, when a large quantity of orders is received, the former method is used, and when a small number of orders are received, the latter method is used for printing or copying, which is advantageous in that it can be provided at a low cost.
