Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily prepare a fiber sample, by a method wherein a pattern formed by a computer graphic device is recorded directly on a fabric black material, or the pattern is once recorded on a transfer paper and is then recorded on the fiber blank material by using the recorded transfer paper. CONSTITUTION:An output from the computer graphic device is supplied to a thermal transfer printer, to which the fiber blank material is supplied in place of an ordinary recording paper as a recording medium. Where the fiber blank material per se has poor nerve and can not be favorably supplied to the printer, a paper or film or the like is preliminarily laminated on the back side of the fabric blank material. A thermal transfer paper and the fiber blank material are supplied to the printer in a laminated state, the printer selectively heats a disperse dye of the transfer paper by a thermal head on the basis of image data supplied from the computer graphic device, whereby the dye is transferred to the fabric blank material, and the image is recorded directly on the blank material. The fiber blank material thus recorded with the image is used as a fiber sample, either directly as it is or after removing the paper, film or the like from the back side thereof.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for easily producing fiber samples printed with various patterns.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] In the textile industry, strike-off proof samples (textile samples)
This proof sample is made using almost the same procedure as a regular print. For this reason, there were problems such as creating one proof sample was troublesome and costly.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for easily creating proof print samples of textile materials.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention involves creating a pattern (image) of a proof sample using a computer graphics device, outputting the image data to a printer, and directly recording the image on a textile material with the printer to create a textile sample, or This method is characterized by the steps of recording an image on printing transfer paper and then transferring the image to a fiber material to create a fiber sample.

[Effect]

Computer graphics devices facilitate the creation of various patterns, and by operating a printer with the output, the created images can be immediately recorded on a recording medium. By using a fiber material or a transfer paper for transferring onto the fiber material as the recording medium, images created by computer graphics can be easily recorded on the fiber material. In this way, fiber samples can be created extremely easily.

〔Example〕

As described above, in the method of the present invention, an image created by a computer graphics device is recorded by a printer. Various known color printers can be used here, examples of which are shown below.

Tal thermal transfer printer (using dye-sublimation thermal transfer paper) The output from the Combiator graphics device is output to a thermal transfer printer. For this thermal transfer printer.

A fiber material is supplied as a recording medium instead of ordinary recording paper. In addition, if the fiber material alone is not sturdy and cannot be supplied well by a printer, it is recommended to paste paper, film, etc. on the back side of the fiber material.As a transfer paper,
A dye having a sublimable disperse dye layer having a property of transferring by heating is used. The thermal transfer paper and the textile material are supplied to the printer in a layered manner, and the printer selectively heats the dispersed dye on the thermal transfer paper using a thermal head based on the image data from the computer graphics device, and transfers the dye to the textile material. An image is directly recorded on the fiber material by transferring the image onto the fiber material.

The film is removed and used as a fiber sample.

As the sublimation type heat-sensitive transfer paper used here, the following ones are preferable. First, the base material is polyester film,
Films such as polystyrene film, polysulfone film, polyvinyl alcohol film, and cellophane are preferred, and the thickness thereof is 0.5 to 50 μm.

Preferably, it is 3 to 10 μm. Further, the thermal transfer layer is a sublimation transfer layer in which a sublimable dye is contained in a binder resin, and the thickness thereof is as follows.

0.2-5.0 pm, preferably 0.4-2.0
The dye contained in the transfer layer is preferably about pm.

Preferably, the dye is a disperse dye, and the dye has a molecular weight of about 150 to
This dye, which preferably has a molecular weight of about 400, is selected in consideration of thermal sublimation temperature, hue, weather resistance, stability in a binder resin, etc. Specifically, the following dyes are exemplified. Ru.

Dye Sublimation Temperature 9 Depending on the level of covering power in the state of color development, the dye is usually 5 to 70% by weight in the transfer layer.
Preferably it is present in an amount of about 10-60% by weight.

As the binder resin, one is usually selected that has high heat resistance and does not hinder the transfer of dye when heated. For example, the following are used.

il+ Cellulose resin Ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose.

Ethyl hydroxycellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate, etc.

(2) Vinyl resins polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyester.

polyacrylamide etc.

In order to provide such a thermal transfer layer on a substrate, an ink composition for forming a sublimation transfer layer is prepared by dissolving the dye and binder resin in a solvent, or by dispersing only the dye, and applying this to an appropriate printing method. Alternatively, it may be provided on the substrate by a coating method. If necessary, arbitrary additives may be added to the sublimation transfer layer forming ink. .

On the other hand, the fiber material used as the transfer agent is preferably polyester fiber. This fiber material is preferably coated with a resin in order to improve the adhesion of the dye.

The following resins are used as the coating resin.

(a) Those with an ester bond Polyester resin, polyacrylate resin.

Polycarbonate resin, polyvinyl acetate resin, styrene acrylate resin. Vinyltoluene acrylate resin, etc.

(b) Those with urethane bonds polyurethane resin, etc.

(c) Those with an amide bond polyamide resin, etc.

(d) Those with urea bonds urea resin etc.

(e) Others containing highly polar bonds, such as polycaprolactone resin, styrene-maleic anhydride resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, polyacrylonitrile resin, etc.

In addition to the synthetic resins mentioned above, mixtures or copolymers thereof may also be used.

Thermal transfer printer (using wax-type thermal transfer paper) In this case, the thermal transfer paper used is a wax-type one coated with wax mixed with pigments. (a
), the thermal transfer paper and the fibrous material are supplied to the printer in a layered manner, and the walnuts and pigments of the thermal transfer paper are selectively heated and transferred to the fibrous material.

The image is recorded. In this case as well, the imaged fiber material is used as a fiber sample.

[01 Inkjet printer The output from the computer graphics device is output to an inkjet printer. This printer is also supplied with a fiber material directly as a recording medium, or with paper, film, etc. attached to the back side. The printer is
Ink is sprayed directly onto the surface of textile materials based on signals from a computer graphics device.

Records images created with computer graphics equipment. The fiber material with an image recorded on its surface can be used as a fiber sample in that state, or after peeling off the paper, film, etc. on the back surface.

(d1 (al, (bl, [C1) shown above are all for supplying the fiber material directly to the printer and recording an image created by a computer graphics device on the fiber material.

However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and it is also possible to use a printer to record an image on a printing transfer paper used for printing, and then transfer the image on the printing transfer paper to a fiber material to create a fiber sample. It is possible. This case will be explained below.
