Environmentally friendly water transfer printing method and corresponding surface structure of a component

Abstract

An environmentally friendly water transfer printing method is provided that includes applying water-based primer to a surface of a subject; using a water transfer printing membrane including a modified water-based ink multi-color printing pattern, so that a water-soluble film of the water transfer printing membrane absorbs water and dissolves to swell the modified water-based ink, and the water-based primer is combined with the modified water-based ink to make the surface of the object attach a pattern. The environmentally friendly water transfer printing method and a corresponding surface structure of a component uses modified water-based ink in the water transfer printing membrane during the water transfer printing. No activator, which is a mixed solvent of multiple solvents or multiple mixed solvents, is used during the method, so there is no VOC discharge.
