METHOD OF APPLYING PATTERN DESIGNS ON PAPER WEBS PARTICULARLY FOR DRY TRANSFER TEXTILE PRINTING PROCESSES

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:Method of applying patterned designs uponpaper surfaces by screen printing comprising the steps of pro-viding a screen having a matrix pattern formed with openingstherethrough separated by connecting bridges of the screen mate-rial,the openings being of uniform spacing and size throughoutthe screen, the connecting bridges being of uniform spacing andsize throughout the screen and forming outer essentially flatengagement surfaces at the side of the screen adapted to engagethe paper surface, upon printing; placing a predeterminedcoverage pattern corresponding to pattern areas of design onthe screen stencil at the obverse side thereof, with respectto the engagement surfaces; applying ink to the stencil;contacting the side of the stencil adjacent the surfaces withthe paper; and working the ink through the openings of thestencil to the paper in those areas where the coverage patternforming pattern areas of the design exposes openings in thescreen to print the pattern areas of the design in uniformdot pattern of uniform dots, uniformly distributed with uni-form gaps between the dots corresponding to the screen bridgesas determined by the matrix pattern of the screen.
