Abstract
Solvent transfer printing method for applying a pattern (1) made of a non-soluble material and non-dispersible (10) on the surface of an object (2), the method comprising the following steps: m1/forming a pattern (1) on a surface of a solvent-soluble substrate (3), m2/depositing the solvent-soluble substrate (3) on the surface of a solvent bath (5), on the side of the substrate opposed to the side on which the pattern is applied, in order to dissolve partially the substrate (3), m3/dipping the object (2) in the bath (5), so that the surface of the object (2) comes into contact with the pattern (1), m4/getting the object (2), on which the pattern (1) is applied, out of the bath (5), m5/drying the object (2).
Claims15
An object comprising a surface having an applied pattern obtained by a solvent transfer printing method for applying a pattern, the method comprising the following steps:
- m1/forming a pattern made of a non-soluble and non-dispersible material, which is not a liquefiable or dispersible ink, on a surface of a solvent-soluble substrate,
- m2/depositing the solvent-soluble substrate on the surface of a solvent bath, on the side of the substrate opposed to the side on which the pattern is applied, in order to dissolve partially the substrate,
- m3/dipping the object in the bath, so that the surface of the object comes into contact with the pattern,
- m4/getting the object, on which the pattern is applied, out of the bath,
- m5/drying the object,
- the non-soluble and non-dispersible material being selected from the group consisting of a metal, a semiconductor, a cross-linked polymer, and a mixture thereof.
