Patent number: 5196030Abstract: In a process for transfer pattern printing of a moist textile web consisting wholly or predominantly of natural fibers, in particular cotton, and/or artificial fibers on the basis of cellulose, the pattern carrier web is a web of paper or a paper-like material which carries a pre-printed pattern of a water soluble or dispersable dye. After wetting of the textile web to a carefully controlled moisture, the textile web is joined with the pattern carrier web and the joined webs are compressed at a suitable pressure so that the pattern can be transferred without using heat. The advantage is that it will be possible to avoid both heating and use of organic solvents. It is also possible to transfer a pattern to a colored textile web since the textile web may be wetted before hand with an aqueous dye solution or dispersion instead of undyed liquid.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1990Date of Patent: March 23, 1993Assignees: Dansk Transfertryk A/S, Billerud ABInventors: Inga S. Akerblom, Claes-Goran Thoren, Knud V. Rasmussen, Jorgen Pedersen

Patent number: 4997452Abstract: An improved sublimation transfer process for printing color images on elastomer-coated fabric such as woven nylon is disclosed. The improved process includes a preliminary step in which a transfer sheet having sublimable dyes placed thereon is subjected to a pretreatment to condition it so as to avoid ghost images or haziness that would otherwise result when applying such process to elastomeric coated material. The pretreatment is carried out by placing the dye-containing transfer sheet in contact with a sheet of absorbent paper and heating this assembly under specified conditions to cause excess dyes to be conveyed into the absorbent sheet. The resulting dye-containing absorbent sheet is then removed, and printing may be carried out using known process conditions. The improved process is particularly useful for printing multicolor images on the back side of Velcro hook and loop tapes.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1989Date of Patent: March 5, 1991Inventors: Cynthia L. Kovach, Larry J. Kovach
