Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of transferring a print such as a photograph, an illustration, a print, and the like, and a material to be transferred thereof, which makes use of a color copying machine which is generally commercially available and popular.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a copper engraving, a lithograph or a color photograph is used as a print, a color photograph or the like which is an original image is separated into four colors to prepare at least four color printing plates. Then, the reproduction is completed only by overprinting the four color plates by photolithography. In addition, a white plain paper having a smooth surface is generally used as the transferred material.

[0003]

However, the conventional transfer method requires at least four color printing plates, and thus requires a great deal of labor. Further, in order to precisely print each of the four color plates, an extremely high level of technology is required, and therefore a degree of skill is required. In particular, conventional color photographic printing requires expensive equipment in each process of color separation and process plate making, and special working knowledge is required for these work operations. Furthermore, most conventional transfer methods are large-scale printing on a flat surface.
It was not efficient or economically suitable for small quantity production of one or two pieces.

On the other hand, when a color copying machine is used, it is possible to easily make a desired number of copies, but it is difficult to transfer the copy onto an uneven surface or a curved surface. Further, since the surface is copied on a thin paper surface, the finished state of the surface is uniform and the texture is poor. However, even if a color copying machine is used, there is a problem in that it is difficult to copy on a thick printing paper having a rough texture, and if copying is possible, illegal copying is possible. Therefore, in the past, such illegal copying was prevented by applying a stipulation to the copied material. However, this method makes it relatively easy for a third party to copy without permission, and thus copyrights are likely to be infringed. There was a circumstance. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by indirectly using a color copying machine in the process of manufacturing a duplicate,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of transferring a print or the like and a material to be transferred that can easily achieve transfer onto an uneven surface and also effectively prevent unauthorized copying.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and the like and to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the method for transferring a print or the like of the present invention is such that after transferring an original image onto a transfer first sheet, the transfer first The toner on the sheet is transferred to the transfer second sheet, and the transfer second sheet and the transfer target are brought into close contact with each other to fuse the toner on the transfer second sheet to the transfer target. Further, in the method for transferring a print or the like according to the present invention, after the original image is copied onto the transfer first sheet, the toner on the transfer first sheet is transferred onto the transfer second sheet, while the forgery prevention means is applied to the transferred object. In addition, the above-mentioned transfer second sheet is brought into close contact with the toner and the toner on the transfer second sheet is welded to the transfer target. Further, the transferred material used in the method for transferring a print, etc. of the present invention, before being brought into close contact with the transfer second sheet to which the toner has been thermally transferred by the transfer method for a print, etc. described above,
The feature is that anti-counterfeiting measures such as engraving, omissions and uneven letters are applied in advance.

[0006]

According to the method for transferring prints and the like of the present invention, the toner is removably placed on the transfer first sheet according to the pattern of the original image by using a color copying machine, and the toner is transferred to the transfer second sheet. Transfer to the reverse image on the left and right Thermal transfer to the resin film of the second sheet. Then, the toner thermally transferred to the transfer second sheet becomes an original normal image and is transferred and fused to the surface of the transfer target. Further, in the case of using the transfer-targeted object having the anti-counterfeiting means, when the toner thermally transferred to the transfer second sheet is welded to the surface of the transfer-targeted object, the imprint of the counterfeiting preventing means also has a different texture and is illegally copied. It is easy to distinguish from the ones that have been deleted.

EXAMPLE A first example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13. First, the constructions of a paper pattern, an object to be transferred and the like used in this example will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of an original image used in the first embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the case where a print is used as the original 1 will be described below. However, in addition to prints, photographs,
Illustrations, textiles, patchwork, oil paintings, Japanese paintings, calligraphy, handwriting, printing, prints and the like may be used as the original picture 1. The original image 1 may be a plane or a part of a three-dimensional object close to the plane, or may be itself colored with a colored pencil or the like.

FIG. 2 is a front view of a pattern paper in which an original image is copied. As will be described later, this paper pattern 2 is used for confirming in advance at which position the imprinting mark and the seal as the forgery preventing means should be applied to the transferred material. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 3 is a window for stamping a seal.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing a state in which markings and omissions are made on the transferred object using a pattern paper, FIG. 4 is a front view showing a state in which the transferred object is type-printed, and FIG. 5 is FIG. A-
It is an A line sectional view. In this embodiment, a printing paper 8a made of high-purity pulp is used as the transferred material 8. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any paper or any material that can be processed may be used in addition to a film or plate-like object made of metal such as aluminum or stainless steel, resin, plastic, or the like, leather, cloth, or cotton.

FIG. 6 is a front view showing a state in which an original image is copied on the transfer first sheet, FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state in which the transfer first sheet and the transfer second sheet are heated and pressed by a laminator, and FIG. 8 is a transfer. 8 is a front view showing a state in which the toner of the transfer first sheet is transferred onto the second sheet, and FIG. 9 is BB of FIG.
It is a line sectional view. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first transfer sheet 10 is a toner transfer film having a release-treated surface on one side. The release-treated surface 10a is surface-treated so that it can be removably placed without fixing the toner 11. As shown in FIG. 7, the laminator 12 is composed of a pair of heating / pressurizing rollers 12a and 12b that rotate in opposite directions in synchronism with each other.

FIG. 10 is a front view showing a state in which an unnecessary portion of the transfer second sheet is cut off, FIG. 11 is a front view showing a state in which the transfer second sheet is placed on an object to be transferred, and FIG. 12 is FIG.
13 is a front view showing a state in which the transfer is completed on the transfer target. This transfer second sheet 13
As shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 13, has a thin thermoplastic transparent resin film 13a similar to the wafer on one surface, and a protective paper 13b for this resin film 13a on the other surface. . The resin film 13a can be welded to the transferred object 8 by heating with an iron or the like. By sequentially combining these, prints and the like can be transferred onto the transfer target 8 (printing paper 8
Although it can be transferred to a), the transfer process will be described in more detail below.

First, the original image 1 shown in FIG. 1 is copied to a desired size on a copy sheet 8a by using a color copying machine, and then, as shown in FIG.
As shown in, the unnecessary portion is cut off to form the pattern 2. In addition, a window 3 for stamping a seal is formed at a place on the pattern 2 which does not disturb the design or the like.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the pattern paper 2 is placed on the printing paper 8a, and the sill 6 is used as the forgery preventing means 4 through the window 3 described above, as shown in FIG. Mark on top. Further, two markings 5 and 5 for registering the arrangement of the transfer second sheet 13 described later are provided. The stamp 5 is formed to have a minimum size, but it is desirable to use a unique one for the writer to prevent forgery. Further, using the markings 5 and 5 for registration as a guide, the print name (for example, NOUPPRINT), the name of the author, and the name of the author, so that the pattern 2 fits within the size of the pattern 2.
Print number, print studio name, production date, etc.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the typeface T is used to print the uneven characters 7 as the forgery prevention means 4. In addition to these, a handwritten signature or the like (not shown) may be applied.

On the other hand, in parallel with these operations, the original image 1 is transferred by the color copying machine at the same magnification as that of the copy sheet 8a, as shown in FIG. Copy to 10a. The release treatment surface 10 a allows the toner 11 to be peeled off without being fixed on the surface of the transfer first sheet 10.

The release processing surface 10 of the transfer first sheet 10
a and the resin film 13a of the transfer second sheet 13 described above are brought into close contact with each other, and as shown in FIG.
The toner 11 on the mold release surface 10a of the transfer first sheet 10 is thermally transferred onto the resin film 13a of the transfer second sheet 13 by 2b. The design of the second transfer sheet 13 that has been thermally transferred is opposite to the original image 1 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, the toner 11 is raised on the resin film 13a. 8 and 10, the resin film 13
a is on the front side.

Unnecessary portions of the transfer second sheet 13 are cut off and shaped into the same size as the pattern paper 2 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the resin film 13a is accurately aligned with the lower ends of the engraving marks 5 and 5 on the printing paper 8a.
Is placed face down and the protective paper 13b is faced up on the printing paper 8a. At that time, if the transfer second sheet 13 has a margin or the like, it may be appropriately trimmed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the transfer resin film 13a of the transfer second sheet 13 is brought into close contact with the printing paper 8a, and the transfer second sheet 13 is protected from the protective paper 13b side by about 160.
Second sheet 13 by heating and pressing at a temperature of 17 degrees for about 17 seconds
The resin film 13a is welded to the fibers of the printing paper 8a. Simultaneously with this welding, the pattern is returned to the normal image again and transferred from the second transfer sheet 13 to the printing paper 8a.

Before the heat has cooled, the protective paper 13b is removed from the resin film 13a fixed on the printing paper 8a, and instead, paraffin paper (not shown) is placed on the printing paper 8a and reheated to remove the printing paper. When the surface of 8a is prepared, the finished product 15 shown in FIG. 13 is obtained.

As described above, in this embodiment, since the engraving 5, peculiarity 6 and concave and convex characters 7 peculiar to the artist are preliminarily applied to the required number of the printing papers 8a as the forgery preventing means 4, the number of the manufactured sheets is surely secured. It can be managed and copyright infringement can be prevented.

While the original image 1 is held by the author, a required number of patterns faithful to the original image 1 are transferred onto the printing paper 8a, and the resin film 13a is formed together with the forgery prevention means 4 and the like which are applied in advance.
Can be welded with. Therefore, the imprint has a texture that is clearly different from that of the registered article 6 or the like that is imprinted after simply copying the print, and forgery can be effectively prevented from this difference. Further, since the pattern is protected by the resin film 13a, it is excellent in light resistance and can be stably stored as a work of art for a long time.

It should be noted that in order to prevent unauthorized duplication, the transferred object 8
This technique, in which the forgery preventing means 4 such as the seals 6 and the concave and convex characters 7 are provided as a process before transfer, can be applied to dye jet printing and a technique for fixing an image film to a printing material.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, a method for transferring a print or the like according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the second transfer sheet and the transfer target are pressed by the elastic body and the template.

In this embodiment, the elastic body 16 and the template 17 are used in addition to the above-mentioned transfer first sheet (not shown), transfer second sheet 13 and transferred object 8. This elastic body 1
6 is a clay-like heat medium 16a and heat-resistant synthetic rubber 16b
Is coated with. In addition, the template 17 has a transfer second
An uneven pattern 17a corresponding to the design of the sheet 13 is formed on the surface. Regarding the transferred material 8, the first embodiment is also used.
The printing paper 18a is used as in the embodiment.

In the above-mentioned case, the printing paper 18a is placed on the template 17 on which the concavo-convex pattern 17a is formed, and the second transfer sheet 13 on which the image of the opposite image is thermally transferred on the printing paper 18a is transferred. Adhere as well as. Concavo-convex pattern 1 of template 17
The patterns of 7a and the transfer second sheet 13 are matched with each other, and they are heated and pressed at a temperature of 130 degrees from the protective paper 13b side through the elastic body 16. Thus, the resin film 13a of the transfer second sheet 13
When is welded to the fibers of the printing paper 18a, the transfer is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and at the same time, the relief corresponding to the design can be formed on the printing paper 18a.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the original image 1 is rewritten, colored, etc., and the uneven pattern 17a is formed on the template 17 and transferred. A finished product (not shown) can be manufactured. Further, it is also possible to apply coloring, retouching, and uneven processing after the transfer.
If the unevenness processing is performed after the transfer, the effect that the texture different from that of the uneven pattern 17a before the transfer can be obtained is obtained.

[0027]

As described above, according to the method for transferring a print or the like and the material to be transferred according to the present invention, color separation and photoengraving are unnecessary, and all work can be performed indoors. In particular, a high-priced printing machine, high technology, and special expertise are not required at all, and it is possible to easily and inexpensively transfer a desired number of print sheets as well as uneven patterns or curved surfaces of various materials in addition to printing paper.
In addition, the finished product provided by the present invention is rich in texture and excellent in light resistance, and can be stably stored as a work of art for a long period of time. On the other hand, since the anti-counterfeiting means is effectively applied, it is possible to prevent the copyright from being infringed. Further, it is possible to easily add and color the transferred material before transfer or after transfer, and all the works printed from the same original image can be made original works.
