摘要:
An improved process and means are disclosed for continuously forming tiles that are embossed in register with a printed design. In this process a base layer is formed on a continuously moving support surface and moved by the surface through printing, laminating and embossing stages wherein a printed design is applied to the base layer, a wear coat is laminated over the design, and the design is embossed. In accordance with the invention, the base layer is adhered to the support surface prior to transfer of the printed design thereto.
摘要:
A weather resistant sign and a method of printing a sign including the steps of providing a sign component and an image definition, applying dry toner powder to surface portions corresponding to the image definition, and fusing the applied toner. Preferably, the fused toner is protected from weather by a transparent protective layer. A toner composition and a computer program for printing are also disclosed.
摘要:
A process for the production of relief images, especially of postcards, greeting cards or the like, wherein a relief is embossed into a polystyrene foam substrate by pressing a heated embossing die against the substrate. A pictorial and/or graphic illustration is applied to the substrate on at least one side thereof, preferably by screen printing. The illustration can be on paper which is applied to the foam sheet. The embossing die is heated to a temperature between 100.degree. and 130.degree. C., preferably 110.degree.-120.degree. C., and is applied agianst the foam with a pressure of at least 0.5 kg/cm.sup.2 while flatly supporting the foam sheet from the opposite side. The foam sheet has a thickness of 1-3 mm, preferably 1.5-2.0 mm. The substrate can be coated with a clear varnish after the imprinting step and before the embossing step. After the embossing step, the relief thus produced can be separated from a larger portion of the plastic foam sheet. This separation can be effected by a blade having the same temperature as the embossing die used for the embossing step.

THE INVENTION DISCLOSED IS DIRECTED TO A METHOD FOR PRINTING WHICH INCLUDES SELECTIVELY DEPOSITING ONTO AN ACTIVATOR-CONTAINING SUBSTRATE A CURABLE INK COMPOSITION HAVING AS ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS (A) IS PIGMENT, (B) A POLYENE CONTAINING A LEAST 2 REACTIVE UNSATURATED CARBON-TOCARBON BONDS PER MOLECULE, AND (C) A POLYTHIOL CONTAINING 2 OR MORE THIOL GROUPS PER MOLECULE. OPTIONALLY, A SENSITIZER MAY BE INCLUDED IF DESIRED TO IMPROVE THE CURING TIME AND EFFICIENCY. THE ACTIVATOR CONTAINING SUBSTRATE HAVING THE INK COMPOSITION SELECTIVELY DEPOSITED THEREON EFFECTS CURE OF THE INK COMPOSITION. THE METHOD IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR HIGH SPEED PRINTING ON ABSORBENT PAPERS SUCH AS NEWPRINT. IMAGES THUS PRINTED ARE FOUND TO BE CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH GLOSS, GOOD COLOR STRENGTH, HIGH OPACITY, AND EXCELLENT PERMANENCE.
