Abstract
An image is formed by providing a coating of a crosslinkable polymeric substance on a first substrate, and applying a pattern or image of crosslinker to the coated substrate by ink jet printing to crosslink the polymeric substance. Uncrosslinked polymer is removed by washing the coated substrate, and the crosslinked polymer is then transferred imagewise to a second substrate.
Claims9
A method of forming an image comprising:
- providing a coating of a crosslinkable polymeric substance on a first substrate,
- applying a pattern of a first crosslinker to said coated first substrate by ink jet printing to crosslink said polymeric substance,
- washing said coated first substrate to remove said crosslinkable polymer in the areas not having said first cross-linker applied thereto, and
- transferring said crosslinked polymer on said first substrate directly to a second substrate wherein said second substrate is a mesh material suitable for screen printing.

The method of forming an image comprising:
- providing a coating of a crosslinkable polymeric substance on a first substrate,
- applying a pattern of a first crosslinker to said first coated substrate by ink jet printing to crosslink said polymeric substance in the applied pattern of the crosslinker,
- washing said coated first substrate to remove said crosslinkable polymer in the areas not having the pattern of said first crosslinker applied thereto,
- patternwise transferring crosslinked polymeric substance to a foraminous substrate,
- bringing said foraminous substrate into contact with a receiving material,
- applying an ink to said foraminous substrate, and
- removing said foraminous substrate to leave a pattern on said receiving material.
