  • Screen printing process using water-based chemical composition
    Patent number: 5462768
    Abstract: A method of screen printing water-based chemical compositions is provided, where the water-based chemical compositions are virtually solventless, that is, having less than 12% volatile organic solvents when press ready, and the method produces screen printed substrates that are weather-resistant and have excellent color retention.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 1993
    Date of Patent: October 31, 1995
    Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
    Inventors: Ronald R. Adkins, Charles J. Fabbrini, Neal T. Strand
  • Process of dry adhesive-free thermal transfer of indicia
    Patent number: 4737224
    Abstract: A process and composition are provided that provide for thermal transfer of ink compositions and eliminate the need to prepare articles such as sign faces, particularly flexible sign faces, by painting with ink compositions that contain solvents. The present process and composition permit thermal transfer from a carrier to a receptor at low temperatures with the use of vacuum pressure. The transferred ink adheres tenaciously to the receptor and is flexible.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 1986
    Date of Patent: April 12, 1988
    Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
    Inventors: Robert C. Fitzer, Frank L. Deyak, Charles J. Fabbrini
