METHOD FOR LIQUID SURFACE ACTIVATION OF TRANSFER FILM, HYDROGRAPHIC METHOD AND HYDROGRAPHIC DEVICE IMPLEMENTING SAME

摘要

An object is to develop a new activation method and a liquid pressure transfer technique, which are on the premise that a transfer film is supplied to the surface of a transfer liquid and then is activated, capable of continuously performing a precise transfer. According to the present invention, in forming an appropriate transfer pattern on the surface of an object by pressing the object from the upper side of a transfer tank, in the transfer tank, a pre-activation guide mechanism that holds both sides of a transfer film, which is supplied with the center position matching the center of the transfer tank, at horizontally equivalent positions of the transfer tank and guides the transfer film to an activation area is disposed. Accordingly, the film is urged to swell up in the thickness direction of the film while the transfer film is held, and, in the activation area, the transfer film is coated with an activating agent in a state in which the guide action of the transfer film using the pre-activation guide mechanism is cancelled.
