Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for forming a sepia tone image. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for forming a sepia tone image by obtaining a sepia tone hard copy by laminating a laminating film colored in sepia tone on an image hard copied by an arbitrary method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a black-and-white photograph of a silver salt system is discolored in a sepia tone after a long time, so that a photograph discolored in a sepia tone makes people feel a long time.
Therefore, conventionally, in theme parks such as Western Village, a sepia tone photograph is artificially produced by specially treating a silver salt type printing paper, and this is exhibited and sold.

Further, in recent years, the image formation by the thermal transfer method or the ink jet method is greatly improved, and the image formation by the thermal transfer method or the ink jet method is advantageous because the image can be immediately formed. Instead of the silver salt method that has been used up to now, it has begun to spread to the amusement field and the commemorative photography field such as photo studios. The image formed here is usually a color or black-and-white hard copy, but in some cases, a sepia tone image is desired. In such a case, software inside the printer or the host of the digital printer is used. The computer software adjusts the color tone of the image output to the printer to sepia tone. That is, in a video printer, the input signal is normally N
Since it is a video signal such as TSC composite, S-VIDEO, and RGB composite, it is difficult to convert the image data into sepia tone. Therefore, the software inside the printer is changed to provide a print density curve exclusively for sepia tones so that the output image is in sepia tone. In a digital printer, an image on a connected host computer is converted into a sepia tone by software of the host computer in advance, and then data is transferred to the printer.

[0004]

However, among the conventional methods for forming a sepia tone image, in the method for producing a sepia tone photograph by specially treating a silver salt printing paper,
The toxicity of the treatment liquid and the post-treatment method are problems.

Further, when an image is formed by a thermal transfer method or an ink jet method, a method of forming a sepia tone image by software inside the printer or software of a host computer of a digital printer is used. There is a problem that it is not easy to replace the software between the case of forming the image and the case of forming the image of the sepia tone.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to enable a sepia tone image to be formed safely and easily.

[0007]

The present inventor has prepared a laminated film, which is previously colored in sepia tone, on an image produced by any conventional image forming method such as a silver salt photographic method, an ink jet method, a thermal transfer method or the like. It has been found that a good sepia tone image can be formed safely and easily by laminating it on the present invention, and has completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention provides a method for forming a sepia tone image, which comprises laminating a laminating film colored in sepia tone on the image.

In particular, the present invention provides a method of forming a sepia tone image by laminating a laminating film colored in sepia tone on an image formed by a silver salt photographic method, and a sepia tone image on an image formed by an inkjet method. A method for forming a sepia tone image by laminating a colored laminate film, and on an image formed by a thermal transfer method,
Provided is a method for forming a sepia tone image by laminating a laminating film colored in sepia tone.

According to such a sepia tone image forming method, an image produced by an arbitrary image forming method such as a silver salt photographic method, an ink jet method or a thermal transfer method is easily changed to a good sepia tone image. It becomes possible. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace the software inside the printer or the software of the computer in order to change the original image color tone to sepia tone. Further, in this case, there is no problem of toxicity of the processing liquid when the image is changed to the sepia tone as in the conventional case.

Further, in the present invention, when a laminated film colored in a sepia tone is laminated on an image by using a thermal transfer printer, a light / dark / shade adjusting mechanism attached to an ordinary thermal transfer printer is used. It is possible to form a better sepia tone image by adjusting the laminating amount.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In each of the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or equivalent components.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of a laminated film with a release substrate 10 that can be used in the present invention. This laminate film with release substrate 10 basically comprises a laminate film 1 and a substrate 2, and the laminate film 1 has a laminated structure of a release protection layer 3 and an adhesive layer 4.

As a method of using the laminated film with release substrate 10, first, the adhesive layer 4 of the laminated film with release substrate 10 is superposed and adhered to the image surface to be imparted with a sepia tone. In this case, if necessary, pressure may be applied with a roller or the like, or heating and pressurization may be applied with a heating laminator or the like. Then, the base material 2 is peeled and removed, so that the laminating film 1 including the adhesive layer 4 and the peeling protection layer 3 is laminated on the image surface.

Here, the peeling protective layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 constituting the laminate film 1 have a function of a colored film which imparts a sepia tone to an image by the action of one or both of them. Of these, the peeling protection layer 3 is
In addition to improving the releasability between the base material 2 and the laminate film 1, after the laminate film 1 is laminated on the image, it becomes a layer constituting the outermost surface on the image, and
It also has a function of protecting from dirt, sebum, moisture, ultraviolet rays, and the like. The adhesive layer 4 also has a function of improving the adhesiveness between the laminate film 1 and the image.

As the base material 2 of the laminate film 10 with a release base material, the same base material as that of the laminate film conventionally used for image protection,
In addition, various film-shaped substrates can be used. For example, a plastic film having a thickness of about 25 to 200 μm (polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polymethacrylate, etc.) can be used.
Further, a laminated film of plural kinds of plastic films can also be used.

As the peeling protection layer 3, an acrylic resin,
A thermoplastic resin such as a cellulose ester resin or a polyvinyl butyral resin can be used. In addition, a release agent such as silicone oil or a fluorinated surfactant or an antistatic agent for imparting antistatic property is added to the release protective layer 3 in order to improve the releasability from the substrate 2. It is also possible. In this case, as the antistatic agent, cationic surfactants (quaternary ammonium salts, polyamines, etc.), anionic surfactants (alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl sulfate sodium salts, etc.),
Various surfactants such as a zwitterionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant can be used.

In addition to the above, various additives can be added to the peeling protection layer 3 if necessary. For example, in order to improve the storage stability of the image, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer,
Antioxidants and the like can be added. Here, examples of the ultraviolet absorber include salicylic acid derivative, benzophenone derivative, benzotriazole derivative, oxalic acid anilide derivative, and the like, and examples of the light stabilizer include hindered amine compound and the like, and antioxidants. Examples thereof include hindered phenone compounds and phosphite ester compounds.

The thickness of the peeling protection layer 3 can be appropriately determined according to the application of the image to be laminated with the laminating film 1, the operating environment, etc., but in general, it is preferably 5 μm or more, and 5 to 50 μm. More preferably.

The adhesive layer 4 is formed of a thermoplastic resin such as polyester, cellulose ester, polyvinyl chloride, urethane, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, or an adhesive such as acrylic or rubber. be able to. The material for forming the adhesive layer 4 is preferably selected appropriately according to the constituent material of the image, and particularly when the image is formed by the inkjet method or the thermal transfer method, the image is formed. Prevent the dye from bleeding into the adhesive layer 4.

Further, the adhesive layer 4 may be blended with various additives as required, as in the case of the peeling protection layer 3 described above.

The thickness of the adhesive layer 4 is the same as that of the base material 2 and the peeling protection layer 3.
Although it can be appropriately determined according to the adhesiveness with the etc., it is generally preferably 5 to 50 μm.

In the present invention, the laminated film 1
So that the laminated image is colored in a sepia tone,
At least one of the peeling protection layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 constituting the laminate film 1 is colored.

Here, the sepia color is JIS-Z810.
According to 2, the Munsell color system is displayed as 10YR 2.5 / 2. Further, in the L ^* a ^* b ^* system, L ^* = 25, a ^*
= 4 and b ^* = 13. However, the present invention is not limited to these numerical values. In the present invention, the sepia color means a color tone that makes the image feel the faded antiquity, and preferably L ^* = 50 to 90,
a ^* = 0-30, b ^* = 10-45, more preferably L ^* = 70-85, a ^* = 5-15, b ^* = 20-35.
It is. If L ^* is too large, it will be too bright and the old look will be weakened, and if it is too small, it will be too dark and the dynamic range of the image will be too narrow, making it difficult to see. Also, a ^* and b ^*
Is greatly deviated from the above range, the antiquated feeling disappears and the deviation from the sepia color becomes large, which is not preferable.

As a method of coloring the laminate film 1 so that the image is colored in such a sepia color, the peeling protection layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 constituting the laminate film 1 are used.
Various dyes such as direct dyes, acid dyes, basic dyes, oil dyes, and disperse dyes may be appropriately added to the above. Organic pigments and inorganic pigments can be appropriately blended as long as the transparency of the laminated film 1 is not impaired. Further, as a coloring method using a dye or a pigment, a dye or a pigment is internally added to a resin composition which is a material for forming the peeling protection layer 3 or the adhesive layer 4, or the resin composition is coated on the substrate 2. After working, it can be dyed using a coating liquid containing a dye or a pigment.

The laminated film 10 with a release substrate can be manufactured by a conventional method. For example, the release protective layer forming composition and the adhesive layer forming composition are prepared respectively, and the release protective layer forming composition and the adhesive layer forming are formed using a pipe coater, a roll coater, a gravure coater, a die coater or the like. Composition for coating on the base material 2 in sequence,

For example, in the laminated film with release substrate 10 of FIG. 1, an example in which the laminate film 1 has a laminated structure of the release protection layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 is shown, but these are integrated and the release protection layer is formed. It is also possible to use a single-layer laminate film formed on a base material, which has the functions of both the adhesive layer and the adhesive layer.

If desired, a peeling layer may be provided between the base material 2 and the laminate film 1 to improve the peelability of the two. In this case, the peeling layer may be peeled off together with the base material 2 when the base material 2 and the laminate film 1 are peeled off, or an image may be laminated together with the laminate film 1.

Further, as in the laminated film 20 shown in FIG. 2, the adhesive layer 4 and the base material 2 as described above are adhered by the intermediate layer 5 if necessary, and these are integrally formed on the image. It may also be laminated to. In this case, the constituent material of the intermediate layer 5 is appropriately provided according to the constituent materials of the adhesive layer 4 and the base material 2. For example, polyurethane resin, polyester resin, chlorinated polyolefin resin, acrylic resin, etc. It can be formed from a thermoplastic resin.
