Definitions

  • This invention relates to decorative methods and materials; and particularly but not exclusively curable and especially firable decals for decorating ceramic articles and a method of making such decals: and a method of decorating firable ceramic articles.
  • decals for decorating ceramic articles can be made using offset or screen printing.
  • offset printing a solvent based adhesive laver is printed by this method on to the backing paper from a roller. Powdered pigment is then supplied onto the adhesive and excess powder subsequently removed, by for example shaking. A number of such layers can be applied sequentially to build up different colours into a sophisticated design. Subsequently a cover coat is applied .
  • This method has disadvantages in that it is not suitable for printing short runs, due to the cost of forming the rollers. Furthermore, very long drying times can occur for each layer of adhesive.
  • decals can be made by silk screening liquid inks.
  • the disadvantage with this technique is that it does not provide a high quality definition, i.e. tonal range of colours.
  • This invention relates to curable decals.
  • Such decals comprise one or more materials which require curing to provide a final decoration.
  • the curing usually takes place after the decal has been applied to an article to be decorated.
  • the curing conventionally occurs during firing.
  • the curing may be effected by other means, such as for example UV irradiation, or by using an electron beam.
  • a method of forming a curable decal comprising printing a liquid material on to a backing paper by an ink jet printer to form a required pattern of an adhesive material, supplying particulate decorative material on to the adhesive pattern, and removing excess particulate material which has not adhered to the pattern.
  • a plurality of different particulate materials may be sequentially adhered on to the paper, each subsequent to formation of a respective adhesive pattern.
  • a cover coat is preferably applied over the particulate material or materials.
  • the liquid material may comprise an adhesive material.

  • the pigment may be coated, with for example any of quaternary amine salts, linseed oil, any other synthetic oil, or polymer resin.
  • the backing paper may be coated with dextrin or another water soluble gum and a material such as for example rosin may be provided on the backing paper to provide a suitable surface for printing.
  • An insoluble barrier layer is preferably provided on the paper to prevent premature wetting of the gum during printing of the liquid material. The excess particulate material may be removed by dusting and/or compressed air.

  • the printing medium comprises 500ml of deionised water with 5g of ammonium chloride to raise the conductivity of the medium to permit high quality ink jet print performance.
  • An additive comprising 10g of glycerol is provided to increase the viscosity of the medium to 2cps.
  • a humectant in the form of 5g of sorbitol is pro ided to delay the drying time of the actuated dextrin .
  • a suitable coloured pigment or pigment plus flux is sprinkled on to the paper to adhere to the actuated dextrin. Excess pigment is removed from the paper by dusting and/or compressed air.

Abstract

Un procédé, qui permet de réaliser une décalcomanie pouvant être cuite afin de décorer un article en céramique par example, consiste à imprimer une substance liquide sur un papier protecteur avec une imprimante à jet d'encre pour réaliser un motif souhaité en une substance adhésive, à disposer une substance décorative contenant des particules, telle qu'un pigment, sur ce motif adhésif, puis à éliminer l'excédent de cette substance contenant des particules. La substance liquide peut être un adhésif ou comprendre un solvant qui active une substance adhésive sur le papier protecteur.
