Description

The present invention relates to the production of a transfer sheet used for transfer printing for transferring an image onto a transfer material such as cloth, and more particularly to the production of a transfer sheet used when printing an image on cut paper using a sheet-fed printer. The present invention relates to a carry sheet, a powder applicator for applying powder to an image portion of the cut paper, a transfer sheet manufacturing tool set having the transfer sheet carry sheet and the powder applicator, and a transfer sheet manufacturing method using these. .

A transfer printing method (including a sublimation transfer printing method) is known in which an image-formed transfer sheet is superimposed on a transfer-receiving material such as cloth, and the image is transferred to the transfer-receiving material by applying heat and pressure.
In this type of transfer printing method, an image is printed on a sheet having a release layer formed on the surface of a substrate, and a heat-meltable powder is adhered to the image to form a transfer sheet. A method is also known in which a sheet is heated and pressed onto a transfer target for transfer.

Recently, printers called DTF (Direct to Film) printers have become popular. A DTF printer prints an image on a transfer film and produces a transfer sheet for transfer printing on a T-shirt or the like. A transfer sheet can be manufactured by adhering heat-melting powder to the surface (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

IMAGE MAGIC website introducing DTF printer https://imagemagic.jp/ceoblog/dtf%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83% BC%EF%BC%88dtts%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%EF%BC%89trans-jet-%E3%83 %97%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E8%B2%A9%E5%A3%B2%E9%96%8B/

However, in general, a DTF printer forms a transfer sheet while continuously feeding a roll of film. There is a problem that it is not suitable for In addition, the DTF printer is a specialized device for forming a transfer sheet, is expensive and large, and is extremely difficult to introduce into ordinary households.

There is a demand to form a transfer sheet using a commercially available printer such as an inkjet printer that is widely used in general households.
Here, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a paper feeding mechanism for feeding cut paper in a commercial inkjet printer. A cut paper C placed on a paper feed tray P4 behind the printer P is pulled into the printer P from its front end by a pick-up roller P3 provided at the rear of the printer P, and sent to the printing section P1 by a paper feed roller P2. be done. An image is formed on the surface of the cut paper C by feeding the cut paper C in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction of the paper surface in FIG. 7) by the paper feed roller P2 and moving the printing unit P1 in the left-right direction (direction orthogonal to the paper surface). is printed. Reference numeral P5 denotes a plurality of small gears arranged in the horizontal direction of the printer P. As shown in FIG.
The cut paper C on which image printing has been completed by the above procedure is discharged from the paper discharge opening Pa to the carry-out tray Pt. Problems with such a conventional printer P are as follows.
1. A resin layer is formed on the surface of the cut paper (film) for the transfer sheet to enable image formation with ink. Therefore, when image formation (printing) on cut paper is repeated, resin adheres to the surface of the pickup roller provided in the paper feeding unit of the printer, causing a problem that the cut paper cannot be pulled in due to slippage.
2. In a printer P such as an inkjet printer, since it is necessary to feed the cut paper C straight during printing, a plurality of small gears P5 that contact the printing surface of the cut paper C are arranged at regular intervals in the width direction of the cut paper C. However, in many cases, the pinion P5 assists the straight feeding of the cut sheet C. However, since the image-forming portion of the printed cut sheet C passes under the pinion gear P5, if ink that is difficult to dry is used, or if the cut sheet C that is difficult to dry is used, traces of the pinion P5 will be cut. There is a problem that it adheres to the paper C.
In order to solve this problem, it is possible to remove the pinion P5, which is located in front of the printing unit P1. There's a problem.
3. When a transfer sheet is formed using a commercially available printer, the cut paper is removed from the printer after the image is formed, and heat-fusible powder is adhered to the image portion of the cut paper, but the excess powder is removed from the non-image portion. There is a problem that the powder sometimes scatters around.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a transfer sheet carrier sheet, a transfer sheet powder applicator, a transfer sheet production set, and a transfer sheet production method using these, which can solve these problems.

In order to solve the above first and second problems, the inventors of the present invention have found that a transfer sheet can be formed using a commercially available sheet-fed printer by interposing a carry sheet even with cut paper. I found
Specifically, the invention described in claim 1 is a carry sheet for producing a transfer sheet formed by printing an image on cut paper with a sheet-fed printer, wherein the cut paper (P) is placed. a flexible carry sheet main body (11) which is inserted into the printer as a unit and pulled into the printer by a pick-up means; It has a first locking means (12) for moving and locking, and a sensor detecting portion (13) which is formed at the front end of the carry sheet body and can be detected by the paper sensor of the printer.

As described above, even with a printer such as a commercially available inkjet printer, if a carry sheet that can be pulled into the printer by a pickup means provided in the printer such as a pickup roller is used, an image for a transfer sheet can be transferred onto cut paper. printing becomes possible. Also, by using the carry sheet, it is possible to feed the cut paper straight without using a small gear.
As described in claim 2, it is preferable to form a rear margin of a predetermined length behind the carry sheet body (11) in the feeding direction.
The rear margin maintains the engagement state between the paper feeding unit such as the paper feeding roller of the printer and the carry sheet until printing is completed by the printing unit of the printer, so that the cut paper can be fed straight until printing is completed. It is intended to
As described in claim 3, the second rollers are formed on both sides of the carry sheet body, engage with the left and right edges of the cut paper, and suppress the displacement of the cut paper in the left-right direction during printing. It is good also as a structure which has a locking means (14). By providing such a second locking means, it becomes possible to hold the cut paper more stably on the carry sheet by cooperating with the first locking means. It is possible to effectively prevent the problem that the cut paper is misaligned with respect to the carry sheet even if it is applied.

The nipping member has the front edge (121b) of the carry sheet so that the front edge (Pa) of the cut sheet can be inserted between the carry sheet main body and the nipping member from the rear edge (121a) side. It is attached to the carry sheet main body along the front edge (11b) of the main body (11), and the boundary portion between the holding member and the carry sheet main body is brought into contact with the front end of the cut paper, whereby the carry sheet is moved. It is preferable that the positioning portion (16a) is formed as a positioning portion (16a) for positioning the cut paper in the front-rear direction in the sheet body.
With this configuration, it is possible to easily temporarily fix the cut sheet to the carry sheet body simply by inserting the cut sheet between the holding member and the carry sheet body.
The second locking means are also sheet-like holding members (14) attached to the left and right ends of the carry sheet main body, and the holding members are attached to the left and right ends of the cut paper. It is preferable to configure so that the edge can be inserted between the carry sheet body and the holding member.
With this configuration, it is possible to suppress lateral displacement of the cut paper simply by inserting the cut paper between the nipping member and the carry sheet body.

In order to solve the third problem, the powder applicator according to claim 6 applies heat-fusible powder to cut paper on which an image has been formed by a printer using the carry sheet for the transfer sheet of the above configuration.

FIG. 1(a) is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of a carry sheet used for manufacturing the transfer sheet of the present invention, (b) is a partial cross-sectional enlarged view showing the relationship between the holding member and the printing unit, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing how the printer prints the cut paper placed on the carry sheet 1, and FIG. 4 is a carry sheet after printing. 3 is a perspective view showing a sheet and cut paper; FIG.
In the following description, the term "front" refers to the front in the feed direction of the cut paper C when printing is performed by the printer P, and the term "rear" refers to the rear.

The carry sheet 1 is for placing the cut paper C, which is a sheet of paper of size such as A4 or A3. A carry sheet main body 11 is used as a main component.

[Carry sheet body 11]
The material, thickness, and color of the carry sheet body 11 are not particularly limited. A series of paper feeding operations, in which the paper is sent to the printing unit P1 that performs printing, and is discharged from the paper discharge port Pa after printing, can be performed without slipping or catching. It is possible to print images (including letters, photographs, figures, patterns, and combinations thereof) without hindrance on the surface of the pickup roller P5. Select a material that satisfies the following conditions:

The carry sheet main body 11 is preferably made of a material having a flexible property (flexibility) so that the carry sheet body 11 can be supplied to the printer P from a paper feed tray P4 erected behind the printer P. As shown in FIG. For example, a PET sheet having a thickness of about 110 μm can be suitably used. The PET sheet has the advantages of being inexpensive, stain-resistant, and easy to remove. The carry sheet main body 11 is not limited to such a resin sheet, and a paper sheet such as release paper can also be used.
The carry sheet main body 11 may be transparent or translucent, but it is preferable to use a colored one so that it can be detected by a paper sensor provided in the printer P. When a transparent or translucent resin sheet is used, the carry sheet A sensor detecting portion 18 may be provided by coloring the front end portion of the main body 11 or pasting a tape that can be detected by the paper sensor.

[Cut paper stacking unit 17]
On the surface of the carry sheet main body 11, a cut paper placement portion 17 is formed on which the cut paper C is placed. The cut paper stacking portion 17 is an area on the surface of the carry sheet body 11 defined to have the same size as the cut paper C to be placed thereon. It's a size that fits. For example, if the size of the cut sheet stacking portion 17 is defined to be A3 size, it is possible to place not only the cut sheet C of the A3 size, but also the cut sheet C of the A4 size by turning it sideways. be.
A first locking means 12 is provided in front of the cut sheet stacking portion 17, and a rear margin 15 is provided in the rear. The left and right sides of the cut sheet placing portion 17 may be aligned with the left and right edges of the mount body 11, or may be provided with some margins. is provided.

[First locking means 12]
The first locking means 12 engages with the front end portion of the cut sheet C to fix the cut sheet C to the carry sheet main body 11 so that the position of the cut sheet C does not shift during image printing. . The first locking means 12 allows the cut paper C to be easily positioned and placed on the cut paper placement portion 17 of the carry sheet main body 11, and the cut paper can be quickly and easily removed after printing is finished. C can be taken out from the carry sheet main body 11. - 特許庁
The first locking means 12 of this embodiment is formed of an elastic, thin sheet-like member, and is composed of a clamping member 121 that clamps the front end of the cut paper C by pressing it against the surface of the carry sheet main body 11 . there is The holding member 121 may be made of the same material as or different from that of the carry sheet main body 11, but may be made of the PET sheet described above.
The holding member 121 is adhered to the surface of the carry sheet main body 11 in a predetermined width rearwardly from the front edge 121b as an adhered portion 121d, but the remaining portion up to the rear end edge 121a is formed as a non-adhered portion 121c. It is By rolling up the non-bonded portion 121c, a gap is formed between the surface of the carry sheet body 11 and the nipping member 121, and the front end of the cut sheet C can be inserted into this gap. The non-adhesive portion 121c is aligned with the surface of the carry sheet main body 11 and has a width in the front-rear direction to temporarily fix the cut paper C in order to avoid interference (getting caught) with other members in the printer P during printing. It is preferable to make it as small as possible within the possible range. For example, when PET having a thickness of about 110 μm is used as the holding member 121, the standard is about 5 mm.
Further, since the front edge of the cut sheet C is positioned by contacting the boundary portion between the adhesive portion 121d and the non-bonded portion 121c, the position of the boundary portion is the cut sheet stacking portion. 17 to match the reference line 16a, which is the front edge of 17.

[Second Locking Means]
The second locking means 14 clamps both the left and right sides of the cut sheet stacking portion 17 and regulates the cut sheet C so that it is not displaced in the left and right direction.
The second locking means 14 may be formed, for example, by forming overhanging portions on both sides of the mount body 11 and folding back the overhang portions toward the surface side of the mount body 11, but in the illustrated example. , a band-shaped holding member 141 is attached to the surface of the mount body 11 . As with the clamping member 121 of the first locking means 12, a predetermined width from the left and right edges of the mount main body 11 is used as an adhesive portion, and the remaining portion is used as a non-adhesive portion so that the cut paper C can be sandwiched between the non-adhesive portions. do. The boundary between the bonded portion and the non-bonded portion should be positioned at the same position as both the left and right ends of the cut sheet stacking portion 17. However, in order to prevent the cut sheet C from floating up, should be positioned slightly further out.
As shown in FIG. 1(b), the non-adhesive portion of the holding member 141 interferes with other members in the printer P (especially the printing unit P1 that moves left and right) during printing, similarly to the holding member 121. In order to avoid snagging, it is preferable to make the width along the surface of the carry sheet main body 11 and to make the width in the left-right direction as small as possible within the range where the cut paper C can be temporarily fixed. For example, when PET having a thickness of about 110 μm is used as the holding member 121, the standard is about 5 mm.

[Rear Margin 15]
A rear blank portion 15 is formed behind a trailing edge 15a of the cut sheet stacking portion 17 that coincides with the trailing edge of the cut sheet C. As shown in FIG. The rear margin 15 maintains the state of engagement between the paper feed roller P2 and the backing paper body 11 at all times while the cut paper C on the cut paper stacking portion 17 is being printed in the printing portion P1 shown in FIG. By doing so, it is possible to feed the cut paper C in the front-rear direction until the end of the image printing.

The width L2 of the rear margin 15 in the front-rear direction depends on the distance between the paper feed roller P2 and the printing section P1, and varies depending on the model of the printer P, but is approximately 3 cm to 8 cm, generally approximately 5 cm.
Note that the front edge of the cut sheet C, which is the leading edge in the feed direction during printing, serves as a reference for the start position of image printing by the printing unit P1 of the printer P. Therefore, the position of the reference line 16a (dimension L1) is positioned so as to be at a predetermined position from the front edge 11b of the carry sheet body 11, considering the starting position of .

[Description of the action of the carry sheet 1]
A procedure for printing the image Ca on the cut paper C with the printer P using the carry sheet 1 configured as described above will be described.

The cut paper C is, for example, compliant with JIS standard A4 size paper or A3 size paper, and can be printed with a commercially available printer P such as an inkjet printer capable of printing on paper of these standards. The small gear P5 in FIG. 7 is removed from the printer P in advance.
The cut sheet C is inserted from the back of the mount 1 between the left and right holding members 141 and the mount main body 11 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The front end of the cut sheet C is inserted between the clamping member 121 and the base sheet body 11 until it abuts on the boundary between 121d and the non-bonded portion 121c. If the cut paper C is sandwiched between the sandwiching members 141 and 121 and is difficult to move forward, the non-bonded portions of the sandwiching members 141 and 121 should be lifted slightly. As a result, the front edge and left and right edges of the cut sheet C are positioned, and at the same time, the front and rear and left and right positions of the cut sheet C with respect to the carry sheet body 11 are positioned. Also, the cut sheet C is temporarily fixed to the carry sheet main body 11 by the holding members 121 and 141 .
By the above procedure, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the cut sheet C is positioned on the cut sheet mounting portion 17 of the carry sheet 1 and placed and temporarily fixed.

Next, a commercially available printer P such as an inkjet printer is prepared, and the carry sheet 1 on which the cut paper C shown in FIG. Prior to printing, the position of the front edge of the cut sheet C (that is, the position of the reference line 16a (dimension L1)) is taken into consideration so that the image is printed at a predetermined position on the cut sheet C on the carry sheet 1. , the print settings of the printer P are made.
When printing is started in this state, the carry sheet 1 is pulled into the printer P by the pickup roller P3, and the cut paper C is printed by the printing section P1 while the carry sheet 1 is being fed by the paper feeding roller P2. After printing is completed, the carry sheet 1 is carried out from the paper outlet Pa to the carry-out tray Pt. Then, the cut sheet C on which the image Ca is printed is taken out from the carry sheet main body 11 .
