Combined Conventional And Sublimation Lithographic Ink System

摘要

The invention relates to an offset lithographic ink system containing a combination of conventional and sublimation colorants used to generate a first substrate printing with commercially acceptable quality color characteristics, notably, but not limited to, life-like flesh tones, which can also serve as an intermediate transfer medium. The first substrate may then, using known heat activation techniques, transfer the image printed on the first substrate to a second substrate yielding a printing of commercially acceptable quality color characteristics, notably, but not limited to, life-like flesh tones.
