Transfer process
Abstract
Abstract A PROCESS FOR THE CONTROLLER AND TRANSMISSION OF THERMOPLASTIC TRANSFER MEDIUM VIA ONE OR MORE SILICONE ELASTOMER SURFACES TO FINAL DEPOSITION ON A RECEPTOR SURFACE WHICH MAY BE ANOTHER SILICONE ELASTOMER SURFACE OR, MORE GENERALLY, PAPER, A POLYMERIC FILM, METAL, GLASS, CLAY, ETC. THE PROCESS UTILIZES FORCES INTRINSIC TO THE MATERIALS EMPLOYED, I.E., SILICONE ELASTOMERS, THERMOPLASTIC TRANSFER MEDIUM (INK) AND THE VARIOUS RECEPTOR SURFACES. THE PHYSICAL STATE OF THE TRANSFER MEDIUM CAN BE MANIPULATED TO PROVIDE FOR NON-SPLITTING TRANSFER FROM ONE SILICONE ELASTOMER SURFACE TO ANOTHER, ADHESIVELY FAVORED SILICONE ELASTOMER OR NONSILICONE ELASTOMER SURFACE. THE PROCESS FINDS UTILITY IN THE COATING, PRINTING, AND DUPLICATING FIELD.
