Multicolored unitary self-supported polymer matrix transfer medium
Abstract
Abstract A MULTICOLOR TRANSFER MEDIUM IS PROVIDED BY A PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES MAKING A FIRST MATRIX MATERIAL BY MIXING A FLUID TRANSFER INK OF A FIRST COLOR WITH A SOLUTION OF A FILM FORMING POLYMER IN A SOLVENT FOR THE POLYMER, COATING THE RESULTING DISPERSION ON A FIRST SUBSTRATE AND EVAPORATING THE SOLVENT TO FORM THE MATRIX MATERIAL OF A FIRST COLOR. A MATRIX MATERIAL OF A SECOND COLOR IS FORMED IN AN IDENTICAL MANNER UTILIZING A FLUID TRANSFER INK OF A SECOND COLOR. THE TWO SUBSTRATES SUPPORTING THE MATRIX MATERIALS ARE THEN PLACED IN ADJACENT EDGE ALIGNED RELATIONSHIP TO ONE ANOTHER ON A THIRD SUBSTRATE WHICH HAS BEEN COATED WITH A FUGITIVE ADHESIVE AND A POLYMER IS THEREAFTER BACK COATED OVER THE TWO MATRIX MATERIALS TO SEAL THEM TOGETHER. THE RESULTING UNITARY MULTICOLORED TRANSFER MEDIUM IS THEN STRIPPED FROM THE SUBSTRATES AND SLIT, IF REQUIRED, TO A DESIRED WIDTH.
