Definitions

  • This invention relates to a unique image transfer method based upon the deposition of adhesive images onto substrates followed by the subsequent transfer and adhesion of decorative and/or security media to these images. There are many novel applications of this process, several of which are described in this application.
  • an adhesive is printed onto a web substrate, U.V. cured, and then wound into a rewind roll.
  • the printed roll is then post processed on a second machine that unwinds the substrate and brings it into contact with a metallized foil at a heated nip point.
  • the nip point consists of a steel anvil and a heated smooth surfaced rubber applicator roll which is loaded against the steel anvil.
  • the substrate/ foil is nipped between the heated applicator roll and the steel anvil. The heat at the nip reactivates the adhesive properties of the previously U.V. cured adhesive and the foil adheres to those portions of the substrate carrying the activated adhesive.
  • the foil carrier (waste) is stripped away from the substrate and rewound on a spindle.
  • the image substrate is then rewound into a finished roll.
  • Limitations of this system include: off-line handling of the printed web is required, poor edge definition results upon reheat of the printed adhesive, and most significantly, the dependence on the use of a heated nip roll, which greatly restricts the number of substrate materials that can be processed.
  • a common example of current technology that will be at least partially superseded by this new method is the hot transfer of metallized foil onto a substrate.
  • An overview of the existing hot foil transfer process will be used as a means for, a) introducing the new process, and b) explaining the benefits of the new process relative to existing processes.
  • a metallized foil and a substrate are laminated together under the simultaneous application of heat and pressure.
  • the laminating process may take place in either flat or rotary mechanisms.
  • the rotary form because of its higher operating speed, is the more common of the two for web fed applications.
  • a heated die roll with an integral series of images formed on its surface is mated against a smooth-surfaced rubber coated backup anvil or 'support roll'.
  • the foil web is nipped together with a web substrate at the contact (“nip") line between the anvil roll and the heated die roll.
  • the adhesive layer of the foil laminate is activated and in turn causes the metallic layer to adhere to the substrate.
  • the non-adhered portion of the metallic layer is released (pulled away) from the foil carrier.
  • What is left on the substrate is a metallic image matching the raised image on the surface of the die roll.
  • the remnant carrier web leaving the nip point is rewound onto a spindle and later discarded.
  • the substrate image is typically embossed, that is, the image has an indented relief pattern matching the profile of the die image(s).
  • Turnaround time for die manufacture is significant, again limiting usage to jobs that can be planned well in advance of mnning. This is a major problem given the current market trends towards shorter runs and just-in-time delivery.
  • foil is often used for special effects in high-end product packaging, an area where the desire for product differentiation often results in frequent art work changes.
  • the expense of a die often limits the freedom of the packaging designer to change existing metallized images.
  • Running speeds of rotary hot stamping systems are typically limited to 150 ft/min. This imposes a severe restraint on press operating speeds (which are usually in the 200 to 400 ft/min range) and can jeopardize the overall economics of the foil application.
  • the rotary die is typically installed on a press die station. This not only ties up one die station that might have been otherwise employed, but more significantly, requires that the embossed foil images be registered with the printed ink images produced ahead of the rotary die section of the press. This requirement can result in additional equipment costs for presses not equipped with rotary die registration systems.
  • the proposed Cold Image Transfer Process presents a novel method of overcoming many of the constraints of currently used media transfer methods.
  • the basic process can be described as follows;
  • Liquid adhesive such as the type cured by exposure to U.V. radiation
  • Adhesive images matching those carried by the mechanical image carrying element of the print mechanism are transferred to a substrate, in the same manner that inked images are transferred to a substrate, ie. instead of printing "ink” images, "adhesive" images are being printed.
  • the adhesive images can be printed by any of the conventional printing processes, including; letterpress, flexography (including Primography), screen (rotary and flat), lithography, and gravure, plus all of the offset variants of these processes. Of particular interest are two processes that use the "raised- image” printing method.
  • the term "raised-image” printing refers to a printing procedure in which the locations on the printing plate where ink is to be deposited are raised with respect to areas where ink is not to be deposited.
  • Two distinguishable forms of this process can be identified; letterpress and flexography.
  • the first typically utilizes a relatively stiff printing plate working in conjunction with an impression roll having a compliant coating.
  • flexography the opposite is the case, ie. a relatively low stiffness printing plate is used , along with a relatively more stiff impression roll (frequently steel).
  • Primography a hybrid of the two basic raised-image printing methods, uses the higher viscosity and thixotropy of the one process, and the plate/impression roll stiffness relationship of the other.
  • the process in its cold foil transfer manifestation, and as employed with a raised-image printing method, results in the deposition of adhesive images onto the surface of the substrate.
  • These printed images are themselves “raised- images” of adhesive (not to be confused with the 'raised-image' relief pattern images on the printing plate) and possess highly defined sharp edges in conjunction with consistent uniform thickness distribution throughout the solid areas of the printed image.
  • the substrate replete with printed adhesive images, then passes through a curing mechanism, such as a U.V. system, which initiates the curing process of the adhesive images.
  • a curing mechanism such as a U.V. system
  • the adhesive images after passing through the curing mechanism exhibit several unique characteristics, including; a) semi-rigidization of the raised images, b) tackiness for a short predetermined length of time.
  • a window of tackiness is created after curing has been initiated, with the delay in the initial onset of tackiness being controllable through the formulation of the adhesive. It is during this window of adhesion that it becomes possible to perform many new and novel transfers of various decorative and/or security media to the discrete, sharp-edged raised-images on the substrate.
  • the laminator consists of unwind and rewind mechanisms as is typically used in a hot transfer process.
  • the foil is unwound and nipped to the substrate at the point of contact between a smooth base roll and a smooth nip roll. It is along the nip line between these two rolls that the metallized layer of particles is released from the carrier film and transferred to the tacky printed images. Because the adhesive images are still in a semi-rigid state, the contact pressure at the nip line must be finely controlled in order to achieve optimum transfer of the metal particles without distorting the definition of the edges of the images.
  • the remainder of the foil carrier web (missing the separated images) is separated from the substrate and accumulated by the laminator rewind system.
  • the cold foil transfer process is used for illustrative purposes only.
  • the essence of the proposed new process is the capability to produce a plurality of discrete, sharp-edged, raised images that exhibit strong adhesive characteristics for a controllable length of time. In general, these images have the following properties:
  • the images that are produced serve as receptors having properties that facilitate a number of novel media transfer processes.
  • the transfer processes replace analogous existing processes (eg. hot foil transfer), while in other cases, entirely new transfer methods that did not exist before are possible. Some of these new applications are;
  • the substrate is passed through a chamber in which fine metal particles, powder or platelettes are blown onto the activated adhesive images and in turn become fused to the tacky surfaces of the images.
  • a nipping laminator may or may not be used in conjunction with this process.
  • This process permits many types of decorative and/or security particles to be applied to a substrate, not just the metallic type. Only a few of the many particle types available can currently be transferred from a foil carrier. A benefit of this approach is that only the material deposited on the substrate images is consumed. Excess material is recirculated in the application chamber.
  • the foil transfer process is a one pass system and requires that the nipped foil carrier be rewound and discarded, most often with only a small portion of its decorative medium having been consumed. This represents a significant economic waste.
  • Post-Printing This alternative deals with the ability to sequentially print an image of U.V. curable adhesive followed by the subsequent in-line and in-register printing of the same image. In essence, this process would produce a multi-layer image, the final properties of which would be determined by the constituents of the adhesive(s) and ink(s) being used.
  • the prime purpose of the initial adhesive layer would be to increase the surface tension present on that portion of the substrate that would subsequently be receiving depositions of ink.
  • the final image would be of greater thickness, a property often desirable from a commercial point of view.
  • Blister Cards This involves the application of a UV curable adhesive, specifically, one having the properties exhibited by the product supplied by 3M under the designation given earlier, whereby an image of adhesive would be printed, cured and then subsequently overprinted by an identical image of a second heat-activated adhesive.
  • the heat-activated coating could be in powder form and be applied to the adhesive image using methods such as, but not limited to; spraying, roller coating, pressure coating and/or dipping.
  • spraying, roller coating, pressure coating and/or dipping One important use for this process would be the production of 'blister card' products.
  • Application of the blister would be accomplished by bringing the blister into contact with the top coated heat-activated adhesive image under pressure and temperature. If desired, the application of adhesives would be done on a substrate that had already been printed and/or flood coated.
  • the adhesive may be used as a matrix within which security micro taggants may be suspended prior to printing and curing, or alternatively, the taggants may be applied to the adhesive in its tacky state by any of the methods previously described. If the former, then the adhesive would contain the security taggant and would likely be printed so as to leave a covert, completely invisible mark which could then be either over-printed by an ink, or laminated by any of a number of available media. The net result would be the provision of a security image that was, a) not visible to the naked eye, and b) protected from wear and/or tampering by a protective/decorative material layer. This type of protection from counterfeiting could be applied to a label, or if desired, directly to a product.
  • a printing plate can be made locally or in-house in a matter of hours as opposed to a typical turnaround time of at least one week for a rotary die.
  • the adhesive can be printed at higher press operating speeds, so no compromises in optimum production speed are necessary, as is the case with the hot transfer process. This, combined with the lower tooling costs, makes the proposed cold process more economical than its hot process equivalent. 4. Implicit is the absence of image registration problems, ie. the printed adhesive becomes the foil image. Registration with a subsequent die is not required.
  • a die station position is not taken.
  • the 'loss' of one print station (the one used by the adhesive printer) is usually not significant since the foil is often replacing an existing colour used in the job.
  • the proposed process being cold, can be used in conjunction with a wide range of substrate materials. Substrate distortion/destruction due to heat is not a concern.
  • the nip point in the laminator is lightly loaded compared to a hot die process.
  • the presence of a heavily nipped hot die tends to cause registration problems in the rest of the press.
  • Cold foil transfer has the ability to transfer finer details due to the fact that the detail of the printed adhesive image is finer than the detail achievable with the hot transfer process. As well, image edge definition achievable with the Cold
  • Image Transfer Process is superior to that of the hot transfer process.
  • this invention provides a method for transferring particles of a liquid or solid medium to a substrate, comprising the steps:
  • this invention provides, an apparatus for transferring discrete portions of foil from a continuous foil web to a substrate, comprising: a) printing means for printing, on the substrate, a plurality of discrete, sharp-edged, raised images which include an adhesive which, when subjected to ultra-violet radiation, is at least partly polymerized so as to become tacky and semi-rigid, and remain tacky for a predetermined length of time, b) ultra-violet radiation means downstream of the printing means for at least partly polymerizing the adhesive in said images, c) roll means downstream of the ultra-violet radiation means, said roll means including a drive roll and a web nip roll, at least one of said rolls having a resilient surface, said rolls defining a nip through which said substrate and said foil web can pass together, such that when passage through said nip takes place within said predetermined length of time, said discrete portions of foil are adhesively retained by said images on the substrate, d) separation means at a location downstream of said n

Abstract

Des particules décoratives et/ou de sécurité, sous forme liquide ou solide, sont transférées sur un substrat (1), sans l'application de chaleur ou d'une pression élevée, d'abord en utilisant un précurseur d'adhésif pour imprimer sur la suface du substrat une pluralité d'images individuelles (8) rendues semi-rigides et en relief, avec des bords nets. Ces images sont rendues adhésives par exposition à des radiations appropriées (9). Les surfaces des images adhésives sont ensuite mises en contact avec les particules en question, qui sont alors retenues d'une manière permanente par les images du substrat. Les particules peuvent également faire partie de la composition adhésive.
