Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a large quantity of variable information to be easily recorded, by a method wherein transfer patterns outputted from a computer, such as names and numbers, are thermally transferred from an ink surface provided on a first sheet to a second sheet by a thermal printing means, and patterns left on the first sheet or the transfer patterns on the second sheet are sublimation transferred onto an object. CONSTITUTION:A thermally transferable sublimable ink of an ink surface 4 is thermally transferred to the lower side 30 of a second sheet 3 in arbitrary patterns, resulting in that the second sheet 3 becomes a transfer sheet capable of being used for sublimation transfer, while a first sheet 2 becomes a transfer sheet capable of being used for sublimation transfer of reversed patterns. A transfer material 1 is inserted between a thermal dot printer 5 and a platen 6, and transfer patterns 7 are printed on the material 1 by the printer 5 from the lower side of the first sheet 2 or from the upper side of the second sheet 3, whereby the transfer patterns 7 are thermally transferred from the ink surface 4 to the lower side of the second sheet 3. The second sheet 3 with the transfer patterns 7 thermally transferred thereto or the first sheet 2 having transfer patterns 8 constituted of the ink left thereon is brought into contact with a fabric or the like, and pressure and heat are externally applied by, for example, an iron, whereby the transfer patterns 7 (or the transfer patterns 8) are sublimation transferred.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for producing a transfer sheet for transferring a transfer pattern output by a computer, such as a name or number, onto an object to be transferred such as clothing.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, in competitions such as marathons and school sports days, Zetsukens with numbers printed (or written on them) are used to identify athletes, and in schools, especially elementary and junior high schools, names are printed on gym uniforms. Students are distinguished from each other by writing a number on their clothes, and in order to make it easier for others to identify them, it has traditionally been the practice to stamp a number or name on a part of their clothing or use a sticker.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, since the above-mentioned numbering and naming differ for each individual, the numbers and characters that make up the variable information (i.e. numbers and names) to be displayed must be printed (or written) differently. When numbering and naming are done in a uniform typeface and in a large number of fonts, there is a problem in that the work becomes extremely complicated.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and a second sheet is placed on top of a first sheet provided with an ink surface made of thermal transfer sublimation ink having different melting temperatures and sublimation temperatures. A transfer pattern such as a name, which is output by a computer, is printed by a heating printing means, and the transfer pattern is thermally transferred from the ink surface to the opposite surface of the second sheet, and sublimation transfer is possible to the second sheet and onto the object to be transferred. Provided is a method for producing a transfer sheet, characterized in that the first sheet is provided with a transfer pattern made of thermal transfer sublimation ink remaining on the ink surface and capable of sublimation transfer to a transferred object, The above-mentioned conventional problems are solved.

[For production]

In the present invention, the transfer pattern is thermally transferred from the ink surface of the first sheet to the opposing surface of the second sheet using a heating printing means that prints a pattern based on variable information, such as a heating dot printer, and the thermal transfer sublimation ink remains. The second sheet thermally transferred to the first sheet is configured as a transfer sheet in which the transfer pattern can be sublimated and transferred to an object to be transferred such as cloth,
Transfer patterns that correspond to variable information such as numbers and names can be sublimated onto the transfer target.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 8.

In the figure, 1 is a transfer material, and the transfer material 1 is made of a material such as polylaminated paper, and the upper surface is made of urethane resin, as shown in FIG.
A lower first sheet 2 made of a sheet-like material coated with vinyl chloride resin or the like and an upper second sheet 3 made of a material such as capacitor paper, polyester film, or polyimide film are bonded together using adhesive S. The edges are glued to each other through the paper, and the pages are bound together so that they can be spread open.

Furthermore, as described above, since the first sheet 2 is formed from polylaminated paper or a sheet-like material whose upper surface is coated, the upper surface 20 of the first sheet 2 has good releasability to ink. , an ink surface 4 formed by applying thermal transfer sublimation ink is formed on this upper surface 20.

The thermal transfer sublimation ink applied to the upper surface 20 is formed by blending an ink composition such as wax, resin, pigment, sublimation dye, etc., and melts at a temperature of, for example, 40 to 120°C to enable thermal transfer. It sublimes at a temperature of about °C, making sublimation transfer possible, and the melting temperature and sublimation temperature are different.

In the transfer material 1, the ink surface 4 is covered with the lower surface 30 of the second sheet 3, and the thermal transfer sublimation ink on the ink surface 4 is thermally transferred in an arbitrary pattern to the lower surface 30 of the second sheet 3 by an appropriate means. When the pattern is transferred to the lower surface 30, the second sheet 3 is configured as a transfer sheet capable of sublimation transfer of the pattern to another transfer object, and the second sheet 3
It is also constructed as a transfer sheet that can be sublimated and transferred in a white pattern (see Figure 2).

In addition, in the transfer material 1, the first sheet provided with the ink surface is located at the bottom, but the first sheet and the second sheet are reversed, and the second sheet is located at the bottom of the first sheet. It may be arranged so as to cover the ink surface.

When transferring a character pattern using the transfer material having the above structure, as shown in FIG. The heating dot printer 5 is inserted with the transfer material 1 between them.
For example, as shown in the figure, the transfer pattern 7 of "Yama" and "Ta" for the output information of the name "Yamada" is transferred to the transfer material 1.
The transfer pattern 7 is thermally transferred from the ink surface 4 to the lower surface of the second sheet 3 by printing from the lower surface side of the first sheet 2 or from the upper surface side of the second sheet 3.

On the other hand, by thermally transferring the transfer pattern 7 to the lower surface of the second sheet 3, a transfer pattern 8 with white characters is provided on the ink surface 4 of the first sheet 2, and as described above, the first and second sheets are The transfer sheet is configured to be capable of sublimation transfer of a character pattern and a character pattern treated as white onto an object to be transferred.

Then, the second sheet 3 on which the transfer pattern 7 has been thermally transferred or the first sheet 2 having the transfer pattern 8 with residual thermal transfer sublimation ink is applied to a portion of a transfer target 9 such as cloth where variable information is written, for example. The transferred pattern 7 (or transferred pattern 8) may be sublimated and transferred by applying pressure and heat from the outside using an iron or the like, and the transferred object 9 has a character pattern (or a character pattern treated as white) formed by thermal transfer sublimation ink. Can be written. When the transfer pattern 8 sublimation-transferred from the first sheet 2 is written as an inverted character pattern on the transfer object, the character pattern is transparent from the back side of the transfer object 9 (for example, thin cloth) to the front surface 9a. can be displayed (see Figure 4.5). As mentioned above, the transfer pattern on the first sheet will be reversed when sublimation transfer is performed, but the transfer pattern can be reversed in advance at this point by changing the direction in which the heated dot printer hits the transfer material. In addition, it is also possible to change the signal output from the computer so that the printed pattern of the heated dot printer is reversed in advance. Easily address the use and purpose of transcripts.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, not only variable information but also fixed information (for example, the name of a competition club or organization) is entered into the transfer material 1, and a transfer pattern 70 corresponding to the fixed information is printed on the second transfer material 1.
A transfer pattern 80 is thermally transferred to the lower surface of the sheet 3 and treated as white on the ink surface, and the transfer pattern 80 is transferred from the first sheet 2 side or the transfer pattern 70 is transferred from the second sheet 3 side. It is also possible to perform sublimation transfer onto a transfer material. Note that FIG. 7 shows an example of the use of a bib made from the transfer pattern of the second sheet, and FIG. 8 shows an example of use of the bib made from the transfer pattern of the first sheet.

In the transfer material of the embodiment described above, the first sheet and the second sheet
The form of binding with the sheet is not only one edge that is releasably glued to each other, but also two or four edges that are sewn together. Just make it possible. Further, the ink surface may be in a divided form coated with a plurality of thermal transfer sublimation inks of different colors, and when it is divided into different colors in this way, character patterns of different colors can be formed. can be written on the transferred material.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, a transfer pattern forming variable information outputted by a computer such as a name and a number is transferred from an ink surface provided on a first sheet to a second sheet using a heating printing means. The transfer pattern is thermally transferred onto the sheet, and the transfer pattern is provided on the second sheet, and the transfer pattern made of the thermal transfer sublimation ink remaining on the ink surface is provided on the first sheet. Since sublimation transfer is performed on the object, transfer patterns corresponding to variable information such as numbers and names can be obtained at any time, and transfer sheets corresponding to variable information can be easily manufactured. It is now possible to easily write down a character pattern, which eliminates the inconvenience caused by conventional direct printing and writing, that is, the trouble of changing the transfer pattern each time in response to variable information. However, it has excellent practical effects, such as being able to easily manage a large amount of variable information!28.
