Patent number: 8304044Abstract: A heat transferable dye donor element includes a heat transferable dye and an N-oxyl radical light stabilizer that is derived from a hindered amine. The N-oxyl radical has the following formula, wherein R1, R2, R5, and R6 are each independently selected from a straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl, and R3 and R4 are each independently selected from H, OH, OR, COOH, or COOR, wherein R is a straight or branched C1-C6 alkyl or alkene, and has a molecular weight of 600 or less. The dye donor element includes a heat transferable material that can be in one or more sections or patches including heat transferable dye patches. The heat transferable material provides better dye image stability when applied to a thermal receiver element.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: William B.

Publication number: 20120234477Abstract: An embellishment transfer delivery system (ETDS) uses an embellishment, such as glitter, and combines it into a transfer adhesive that is combined with a carrier sheet and finally transferred to a sticky substrate, such as a double sided tape. The result is the clean, particle-free, non-tacky, dry transfer of the embellishment to cover an object with precise, complete and detailed coverage. The ETDS is a clean and fully transferrable system of holding, containing and transferring glitter or other embellishments to a double sided tape that allows for detailed coverage and no residual mess or airborne particles. The embellishment is suspended in an adhesive which is then coated onto a pressure sensitive carrier sheet to create the ETDS. The embellishment transfers from the ETDS and bonds to the application in a way that allows for a clean, detailed finished product without any of the mess, stickiness or wait time traditional delivery systems would entail.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2011Publication date: September 20, 2012Inventor: Robert Michael Saul

Patent number: 8236122Abstract: A method of forming an opaque image on a substrate is generally provided. The method generally includes the use of three papers: a toner printable sheet, a coating transfer sheet, and an opaque transfer sheet. Toner printing can be utilized to print an image on the toner printable sheet, and then the toner ink can be utilized to remove a portion of a melt coating layer from the coating transfer sheet to form an intermediate imaged coated transfer sheet. This intermediate imaged coated transfer sheet and the opaque transfer sheet can then be utilized to form an image, defined by the opaque areas, on a substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Neenah Paper, Inc.Inventor: Frank J. Kronzer

Patent number: 8206527Abstract: A cold film transfer method with dynamic film tensioning guides a film web intermittently through a transfer nip with dancers to use less film web. The intermittent drive and action of a transfer cylinder channel result in undesired fluctuations in film tension or web force, which directly affect dancer motors. A control system is used to avoid high loads on the motors and the web. A control circuit acts on the dancer movement, a first process variable is mapped in the control circuit and the first process variable is a function of a force acting on the dancers as a result of the transfer film or is a function of the actual current movement profile of the dancers. A measure for web tension is calculated as a function of the first process variable and/or the amplitude of the web tension is at least limited by the control system.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventor: Detlef Strunk

Publication number: 20120152444Abstract: A device and a method for coating a printing material include a foil engaged with a printing material on an impression cylinder using guide rollers. The foil and the printing material are guided together in an engagement area and a functional layer, such as glue or varnish, is dried, i.e. activated or polymerized, through the foil in the engagement area using a drier. The guide rollers are disengaged from the impression cylinder to avoid contact between the foil and grippers of the impression cylinder. To improve a detachment behavior of the foil from the functional layer, an angle of detachment between the foil and the sheet is varied by pivoting the guide rollers about an external geometrical pivot axis or an internal geometrical pivot axis, or at least assisting the disengagement of the foil from the impression cylinder by a change of a pneumatic condition of a foil-guiding element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AGInventor: ALEXANDER WEBER
