Abstract
A process for decoration of the surfaces of an object by sublimation of ink consisting in; using as a sublimable ink support a material which is sufficiently extensible and air-permeable so as to conform to the shape of the object to be decorated without adversely effecting the decoration to be sublimated, enveloping the object in the ink support, and placing the enveloped object in a vacuum machine which is introduced into a heated space to thereby cause transfer of the decoration to the object.
Claims2
A process for decoration of the surfaces of an object by sublimation of ink,
- comprising the steps of:
- using as a sublimable ink support a material which is extensible and air-permeable so as to conform to the shape of the object to be decorated without altering the decoration to be sublimated;
- enveloping the object in the ink support so that all its surfaces are covered;
- and
- placing the assembly in a vacuum machine, which is thereafter introduced into a heated space to cause transfer of the decoration to all the surfaces of the object to be decorated.
