May 27, 1930. H. s. SADTLER TRANSFER FOR MULTICOLORED DESIGNS 'AND MARKINGS Filed Dec. 6, 1927 ATT RNEK Patented May 27, 1930 HELENA s. sam ma, or nnnnnnnm, PENNSYLVANIA TRANSFER FOR MULTICOLORED DESIGNS AND MARKINGS Applicationfiled December 6, 1927. Serial No. 238,240.

This invention relates to an improved methd of printing or placing water soluble dyestuffs on a paper base, that are capable of being transferred to biscuit ware, water ab- 6 sorbent wallboards, fabrics, etc. without bleeding around the edges.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a plan view of a transfer sheet embodying my invention, showing a multi-col- 10 ored design bordered by a layer of bleeding preventive substance; and

Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse vertical section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

It is known to those skilled in the art that when water soluble dyestuffs are printed or applied in a suitable medium to a paper. base, to be afterwards transferred to material, and the colors placed adjacent to each other, as in a multi-color design or printing, that such a design can be transferred to a wetted surface by pressure or by wetting the same from the back and the colors adjacent to each other will not run or bleed, but there will be a bleeding on the outside edges.

This is overcome in the present invention by printing or applying a border of a water soluble gum, or equivalent material closely around all the outside edges of the design or marking placed upon the transfer sheet. For simplicity in manufacture this can be first applied or printed on the paper base before the design or marking consisting of one or more colors is placed thereon. To carry out my invention, I print or apply to a paper base as required to form a border to the design or marking, a coating of a water soluble gum in solution as dextrine, made from tapi oca or other starch producing dextrines having a high viscosity and which leaves a continuous film upon drying, and is readily soluble when brought into contact with a wetted surface to be marked or decorated, thus forming in or on the wetted material a solution of high viscosity into which the adjacent dyestuif would not perceptibly penetrate.

While I have described my invention as preferably employed with water soluble dyes and a water soluble gum, it will be understood that the principles of the invention are broadlyb applicable to any design transfer having coloring matter which may bleed around the edges of the design.

This is a quick method for transferring and the transf'er'need only be pressed on providing moisture is applied to the surface to be 58 marked or if a transfer be made on a moderately porous paper the water can be applied from the back, providing said paper does not readily absorb the dye,--such as a mimeograph paper printed with basic colors 00 in solution, or porous paper otherwise treated to resist the particular kind of dyestufl used.

Instead of dextrine gum arabic can be employed or any of the gums soluble in cold water.

Having thus described my invention what lclaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A methed of making a'transfer which consists in applying to a base a design in one or more colors composed of an ink containing water-soluble dyestuff and applying a border of water-soluble gum capable of forming a solution of high viscosity when wetted and placed in contact with a surface to be marked or decorated.

2. A method of making a transfer which consistsin applying to a base a design in one or more colors composed of an ink containing water-soluble dyestulf in solution and applying a colorless border of water-soluble gum capable of forming a solution of high viscosity when wetted and placed in contact with a surface to be marked or decorated, said border surrounding and being contiguous to the edges of the design.

3. A method of making a transfer which consists in applying to a base a design in one or more colors composed of an ink containing Water-soluble dyestuff and surrounding the design with a colorless border of water-soluble gum adapted to form a solution of high viscosity when wetted and placed in contact with a surface to be marked or decorated whereby the design colors are prevented from bleeding at the borders of the design.

4. A transfer sheet comprising a base having a design in one or more colors imprinted thereon with sm ink containing water-soluble dyestufi' and a layer ofwater-soluble gum bordering the deslgn.

5'. A transfer sheet comprising a base having a design in one ormore colors imprinted thereon with an ink containing water-soluble dyestufl and a water-soluble agent for preventing blee'ding or running of the dyestulf when moistened bordering the design.

6. A transfer sheet comprising a. base having a design in one or more colors imprinted thereon with an ink containing water-soluble dyestuff in solution and a layer of watersoluble gum capable of forming'a high viscosity solution when moistened bordering the design for preventing spreading of the dyestuif during the transfer operation.

7. A transfer sheet comprising a base having a design in one or more colors imprinted thereon with an ink containing water-soluble dyestufi' in solution and a layer of colorless water-soluble gum capableof forming a high viscosity solution when moistened surrounding the design for preventin spreading of the dyestuff during the trans er operation. V

8. A transfer sheet comprising a base havmg a designin one or more colors imprmted thereon with an ink containing water-soluble dyestufl" in solution and a layer of watersolublegum capable of forming a high viscosity solution when moistened surrounding and contiguous to the design for preventing spreading of the dyestufi during the transfer operation.

9. A transfer sheet comprising a paper base having a design in one or more colors imprinted thereon with an ink containing soluble dyestufi's in solution and a border of.

colorless Water-soluble gum capable of forming a high viscosity solution when wetted I on the back and pressed into contact with a surface to be marked or decorated, said border substantially surrounding the design and being contiguous therewith whereby the dyestufls are prevented from running or bleeding at the edges of the design.

10. A transfer sheet comprising a base having a design in one or-more colors imprinted thereon with'an ink containing water-soluble dyestufl' and a layer of gum arabic bordering the design.

In testimonywhereof I afiix my signature.
