Description

The present invention relates to a deformable / three-dimensional curved surface seal that can be easily adhered to a desired position using a transfer seal capable of printing an arbitrary image.

It is a sticker made using a printing sheet of a transfer sticker that can print any image, pattern, or character as desired using a popular inkjet printer. It can also be used on adherends with curved surfaces or slightly uneven surfaces. The present invention relates to a seal for deformed / three-dimensional curved surfaces that has flexibility to cope with distortion, is easy to cut in accordance with an adherend, and has a clear and durable printed surface image.

Conventionally, a “tattoo seal” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-160111) equipped with a printing sheet on which an arbitrary pattern can be printed by a printer, and a sticking means capable of sticking the printing sheet to the skin, has been widely used in general households. A transfer seal kit that allows any user to easily create and use an original transfer seal desired by an ink-jet printer, copying machine, water-based or oil-based writing instrument, and its transfer usage method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-199194) Japanese Patent No. 3266197 Hei 14.1.11).

The printing sheet for transfer purposes provided in the products marketed under the trade names of “tattoo seal” and “transfer seal” according to the prior art is a film sheet substrate that is an ink receiving layer, which can be separated by moistening with water. This is a structure in which water-absorbing paper is laminated and integrated.

When a desired image is to be transferred to an adherend, the transfer seal and double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet are combined or a transfer seal kit is used.
FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a printing sheet (1) and an adhesive sheet (2) as a transfer seal provided in a commercial product according to the prior art, and the arrows in the figure indicate that the adhesive sheet is stretched on the reverse printing surface. FIG. 7 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the transfer seal is attached to the adherend (T).
As shown in FIG. 6, in order to create a seal with a commercial product according to the prior art, an adhesive layer is stretched on the reverse printing surface, and is adhered to the adherend (T).

A user prints an arbitrary image in which individual preferences are projected by a device such as an ink jet printer held by the customer on the printing sheet, and the target adherend (T) is used by using a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet provided in the commercial product. After adhering, the printing sheet in the affixed state is moistened with water to separate the release water-absorbing paper (release paper), so that the adhering to the adherend (T) is only a thin film base material. As a result, it becomes a thin decorative body in which the arbitrary image printed on the sheet base material appears to be integrated with the adherend (T).

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-199194, “transfer seal kit and transfer method thereof”, air is confined to the adhesive surface, and in order to improve the wavy state and the wrinkled state due to bubbles, Uneven surface roughening is performed for coating and air venting.

JP 2001-199194 A

A printing sheet serving as a transfer seal according to the prior art has a predetermined thickness suitable for printing by a printer apparatus by laminating an opaque release water-absorbing paper on a thin sheet base material.
When using, reverse print an arbitrary image on one side of the printing sheet, stick a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet as a means of sticking to the adherend (T) on the printing side of the printing sheet, and properly surround the image The release paper, which is the release water-absorbing paper of the printing sheet, is peeled off after being cut to a proper size and attached to the adherend (T).

Therefore, since an opaque release paper, which is a release water-absorbing paper, is on the top side when pasted on the adherend (T), an arbitrary image on the print surface to be pasted on the target adherend (T) can be visually observed. Fine adjustment is very difficult for the pasting operation to the desired position on the target adherend (T), and correction and rework after peeling after the pasting tends to cause damage to the sheet base material which is a thin film. There was a problem in terms of workability.

In addition, the sheet base material which is a conventional thin film has poor stretchability, and the target adherend (T) is an irregular shape, a three-dimensional curved surface (a shape having a curvature in two directions like a hemispherical surface) or the like. It is difficult to get used to the shape.
If the release water-absorbing paper laminated on the printing sheet is peeled off while not being familiar enough, wrinkles, slack, lifting, breakage, etc. of the curved surface will occur on the thin-film sheet substrate on which any image is printed. Therefore, there is a problem that a desired finish cannot be obtained.
The upper photo in FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of a state where a conventional seal is pasted on the tip of the nail tip (false nail), but the seal is thin and the nail tip (false nail) has a three-dimensional curved surface. This means that wrinkles and damage can be achieved.

Furthermore, as a printing device for arbitrary images, an ink jet recording system printer designated by such a commercial product has transparency as a property of the dedicated ink to be equipped, and further, since white printing is impossible, When an arbitrary image printed on a transparent, colorless and transparent sheet base material that hits the printing surface of the printing sheet provided in the product has a white portion, the white portion of the printed image becomes colorless and transparent, and also prints in other portions. Depending on the color, the transparency, which is the property of the dedicated ink, affects the desired color when the ground color of the target adherend (T) has a non-uniform white color or a color other than white. There was a problem.

As a solution to such a problem, there are commercially available products equipped with a white double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. For example, ELECOM Co., Ltd. : 51207) ".

By making the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet white as a sticking means between a transparent, colorless and transparent sheet base material on which an arbitrary image has been printed and a target adherend having a color other than white (T), Expected to reproduce the original color of an arbitrary image without being affected by the color of the target adherend (T), but the white double-sided PSA sheet provided by such commercial products is rough and has a desired texture. Color reproduction is still difficult, and it is particularly inappropriate as a background color to supplement decorations that require a clearer image as the image gets smaller.

Even if the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is white, the white color may become uneven due to the pressure contact. Rather, the white color becomes uneven and has a non-uniform color that makes the pattern feel.

The present invention has been made in order to improve the above-described conventional inconveniences and solve the problems that occur when using products according to the prior art, and is applied to a desired position on a target adherend (T). Easy adjustment of work, easy adhesion at desired position using transfer sticker that can print arbitrary images that can be attached to various adherends (T) with irregular or three-dimensional curved shapes An object of the present invention is to provide a seal corresponding to a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface.

The object of the present invention is to apply various adherends (T) having a deformed shape and a three-dimensional curved surface (a shape having a curvature in two directions like a hemisphere), for example, a nail to be applied to a nail of a human body having a three-dimensional curved surface. It is a seal suitable for adherends (T) that are relatively small in size, such as a chip (false nail), a button of a small portable device, and a three-dimensional small projection for a brand provided on the device, and having a curved surface, etc. It is the development of a seal that has excellent flexibility in following, has a clear image, and can be easily attached to a desired position.
It is particularly suitable for adherends (T) with a small sticking area and uses a transfer sticker that can print arbitrary images, and develops a sticker for deformed and three-dimensional curved surfaces that can easily stick to a specific position. .

The present invention is a deformable / three-dimensional curved surface seal using a transfer seal characterized by comprising the following six layers of 1-6.
1: Print layer in which an image formed on a sheet base material is reversely printed.
2: The 1st transparent film layer formed on the printing layer of the said sheet | seat base material.
3: Opaque white or opaque colored or transparent coating layer formed on the first transparent film layer.
4: A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on the coating layer.
5: The 2nd transparent film layer which coat | covers the surface of the said sheet | seat base material which can visually recognize the said reverse printed image as a normal image.
6: A third transparent film layer formed on the second transparent film layer.

Further, it is one of the characteristics that the coating layer is a coating layer containing an opaque water-based acrylic paint and containing a non-toxic fluorescent material.

In addition, one or more of the first transparent film layer, the second transparent film layer, and the third transparent film layer can handle irregular or three-dimensional curved surfaces using a transfer seal containing a scent component that volatilizes in air at room temperature. Suggest a seal.

Specifically, on the sheet base material of the transfer seal, a printing layer in which an arbitrary image is reversely printed by a printer of an ink jet recording system, and on the surface of the printing layer of the sheet base material, that is, an upper layer, A first transparent film layer made of, for example, a transparent nail enamel, which contains a drying oil as a top coat, and an opaque white aqueous acrylic paint on the surface of the first transparent film layer, that is, an upper layer. A coating layer is formed.
The coating layer is basically opaque white, but in rare cases the adherend (T) may be white and the background color is used. However, if the sharpness of the image is within an allowable range, The coating layer may be alternatively formed with a transparent material, a translucent material, or an opaque color.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer made of a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is formed on the coating layer of the opaque white aqueous acrylic paint.

As a top coat, similar to the first transparent film layer, on the back surface (the surface from which the release water-absorbing paper as a protective material is peeled off) of the printed sheet of the sheet base material in which the reversely printed arbitrary image can be viewed as a normal image Forming a second transparent film layer of a commercially available transparent nail enamel containing a drying oil as a component, and on the surface of the second transparent film layer, that is, as an upper layer, the first and second transparent film layers; Similarly, a third transparent film layer of a commercially available transparent nail enamel containing a drying oil as a top coat is formed.

That is, the deformed / three-dimensional curved surface seal using the transfer seal of the present invention is printed in reverse order from the surface side to be adhered to the adherend (T), the adhesive layer, the coating layer, the first transparent film layer. The printed layer on the back surface is composed of a sheet base material in contact with the first transparent film layer, a second transparent film layer, and a third transparent film layer, and the summary is composed of these six layers.
The printed sheet of the reversely printed image is clear with a white back surface, and the upper and lower surfaces are sandwiched between the first transparent film layer and the second transparent film layer, and the third transparent film layer is coated so that a normal image can be visually recognized. Affixed to the adherend (T).
We also propose an adhesive layer that is easy to cut with release paper attached to the cut line.

According to the modified / three-dimensional curved surface seal according to the present invention, the following technical effects can be obtained.
In the present invention, a first transparent film made of a commercially available transparent nail enamel containing a drying oil called a top coat, which forms a flexible coating film having water resistance after curing, on a printed layer such as a design of a sheet base material By sandwiching and laminating between the layer (A) and the second transparent film layer (C), flexibility excellent in followability to a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface and robustness as an adhesive body are improved.
By sandwiching the print layer between the first transparent film layer (A) and the second transparent film layer (C), the surface protection is increased with flexibility and sufficient surface.

Furthermore, under the sheet base material, which is a design pattern printing layer, a uniform thin film coating layer (B) is formed with an opaque white aqueous acrylic paint using, for example, an air brush which is a spray equipment for painting. Thus, the original color of an arbitrary image can be reproduced without being influenced by the color of the target adherend (T), and the quality as a decorative body that requires a clearer image as the size decreases is improved to a desired level. Yes.
Further, a third transparent film layer (D) is formed as a top coat on the surface of the second transparent film layer (C).

Depending on the properties of the adherend (T), the third transparent film layer (D) may be the second transparent uppermost portion after the pressure-sensitive adhesive body having the laminated structure of the present invention is attached to the target adherend (T). It can be laminated on the film layer (C), or can be laminated on the uppermost second transparent film layer (C) before being attached to the adherend (T). There is a beautiful effect that further enhances the fastness and the prepared surface enhances the reflection of light and improves the gloss as a decorative body.
Further, by laminating transparent film layers on the front and back surfaces of the sheet base material (3) by the above-mentioned means, various coatings having irregular or three-dimensional curved surfaces, for example, shapes having curvatures in two directions such as a hemispherical surface. Flexibility excellent in followability to adherend (T) such as a human body nail which is a three-dimensional curved surface, and excellent workability and robustness which can be easily attached to a desired position is there.
What is used as a seal for decorating nails and the like has water resistance and flexibility, and also has a practical effect that the sticking and peeling can be repeated several times.
In order to show the actual effect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface seal using the transfer seal of the present invention is applied to a curved nail tip (false nail) in a shape having a three-dimensional curved surface. A photograph of a prototype is shown.
It is transferred to the curved surface in a very clear detail without distortion.
In FIG. 8, the upper part shows the pasted state of the conventional seal, and the lower part shows an enlarged comparison of the pasted state of the seal of the present invention. And water resistance are increased, and it is possible to apply without wrinkles or damage.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode and embodiment for implementing a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface seal using a transfer seal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

A conventional printing sheet (1) serving as a transfer seal has a structure in which a release paper (4) which is a release water-absorbing paper is laminated on a thin sheet substrate (3) as shown in FIGS. is there.
The reverse paper is used for reversal printing, but the release paper is white and needs a thickness for printing and paper feeding in order to make the printed pattern visible.
In this configuration, when attaching to the target adherend (T), the release paper is on top, so that an arbitrary image on the printing surface cannot be seen, and the target adherend (T) is attached to a desired position. In addition, fine adjustment is very difficult, and the seal itself is extremely thin and weak and has an adhesive, which makes it difficult to handle. The sheet base material (3 ) Was easily damaged, and there was a problem in terms of workability.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the release paper (4) which is the release water-absorbing paper laminated and integrated under the sheet base material (3) corresponding to the printing surface of the printing sheet (1) which is a transfer sheet. ) Before being attached to the target adherend (T), sandwiched by a transparent film layer from above and below, and further laminated with a transparent film layer on the upper surface, whereby the sheet substrate (3) An arbitrary image reversely printed (backprinted) on the back of the sheet base material (3) was configured to be visible as a desired positive image.
The sticker for deformed / three-dimensional curved surface according to the present invention can be arranged to match a desired position on the target adherend (T) while viewing as a positive image. Can be easily fine-tuned.

The best mode for carrying out the deformed / three-dimensional curved surface seal using the transfer seal according to the present invention is a seal having the following 6 layers.
1: Print layer (5) in which the image formed on the sheet substrate (3) is reversely printed.
2: The 1st transparent film layer (A) formed on the printing layer of the said sheet | seat base material (3).
3: Opaque white or opaque color or transparent coating layer (B) formed on the first transparent film layer (A).
4: A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (7) formed on the coating layer (B).
5: The 2nd transparent film layer (C) which coat | covers the surface of the said sheet | seat base material which the said reverse printed image can visually recognize as a normal image.
6: A third transparent film layer (D) formed on the second transparent film layer (C).
The first transparent film layer (A), the second transparent film layer (C), and the third transparent film layer (D) are quick-drying,
Although it is a transparent nail enamel containing a drying oil as a component, the composition ratio of the film-forming element, plasticizer and solvent is adjusted according to the performance and role of each layer.
Each of the transparent film layers is a transparent layer as a top coat for coating strength (rubbing resistance), glossiness, and image sharpening. The first transparent film layer (A) and the second transparent film layer (C) strengthens quick-drying, and the third transparent film layer (D) is excellent in solidification, and the composition is adjusted to enhance the rub resistance.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 showing Example 1 to be described later, the deformed / three-dimensional curved surface corresponding seal (10) using a transfer seal is in order from the surface side to be adhered to the adherend (T). A sheet substrate in which a layer (7), an opaque white coating layer (B), a first transparent film layer (A), and a printed layer of a reversely printed transfer seal surface are in contact with the first transparent film layer (A) (3) It consists of a second transparent film layer (C) and a third transparent film layer (D) formed on the surface of the sheet substrate (3) where the positive image can be seen.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (7) is covered with a release paper (9).

A second transparent film layer (C) is provided on a sheet base material (3) on which a printed normal image can be seen covered with a first transparent film layer (A) having a white coating layer (B) on the back surface. The sheet base material (3) is sandwiched between the first transparent layer (A) and the second transparent layer (C) having the white coating layer (B) on the back surface.
The white coating layer (B) is uniformly coated on the plane of the first transparent film layer (A), becomes the back of an arbitrary pattern, and is effective for sharpening and raising the pattern. It is also useful for visual recognition of normal images.
The coating layer (B) is basically opaque white, but can also be formed in various opaque colors such as red, gold, silver, and metal, and a transparent layer.
In the printing ink of the ink jet printer onto the printing sheet (1) which is a transfer seal, white cannot be printed, so the white color of the coating layer (B) actually affects the printed image very delicately.
The release paper (4) is peeled off, the second transparent film layer (C) is formed on the surface of the sheet substrate (3) where the normal image can be visually recognized, and the third transparent film layer (D) is further formed thereon.
The image is sharpened, the positive image is visualized, the flexibility corresponding to the curved surface, and the adhesion to the adherend (T) are increased, thereby achieving the overall robustness.

Here, the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and FIG. 8 will be described.
Example 1 is a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface seal using a transfer seal created in a mass production form when the adherend (T) is a curved female nail tip (pawl nail).
The nail tip (false nail) is composed of 10 pieces of 5 sets and 2 sets of imitation shapes slightly different in size and curvature from the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.
This is an example in which a manufacturing method of continuously printing and transferring different patterns for each finger on this nail chip (false nail) is adopted.
In Example 1, a transfer seal (1) is prepared, and a printed layer (5) in which an arbitrary image is reversely printed by an ink jet recording type printer is formed on the sheet base material (3).
The printed layer (5) refers to a surface layer portion printed on one surface of the sheet base material (3) without the release paper (4) which is a release water-absorbing paper.
The unprinted part becomes the protective layer (6).
The printed layer (5) is, for example, a shape and size of each nail chip (false nail), with various flower patterns on each nail chip (false nail), and a graphic or photo that is printed on a computer. A large number of sets are drawn at a time using paste.
A positive image can be visually recognized from the surface which peeled off the release paper (4) which is the release water-absorbing paper stuck on the sheet base material (3).

A first transparent film layer (A) made of a commercially available transparent nail enamel containing a drying oil as a top coat as a component is formed on the printed layer (5) of the sheet substrate (3).
The top coat consists mainly of plasticizers and solvents such as nitrocellulose and resin film-forming elements, aliphatic polybasic acid esters, etc., and by adjusting the components, the rubbing resistance, flexibility and adhesion are adjusted. Yes.
The top coat can be given a slightly fragrant fragrance as it approaches by mixing several percent of a scent component that volatilizes at room temperature together with a solvent.
The main role of the top coat is to protect the lower surface.

Then, an opaque white aqueous acrylic paint coating layer (B) is formed on the first transparent film layer (A).
The coating layer (B) is obtained by kneading a pigment with an acrylic resin emulsion, which is good for application to the first transparent film layer and forms a water-resistant film after drying while being hydrophilic before drying. It is a white opaque layer.
In addition, since the coating layer (B) is a background color for sharpening a color image, it is white in most cases.
Furthermore, although not shown in Example 1, the coating layer (B) has various opaque color colors such as red, gold, silver, and metal, other than white, semi-colored due to the ground color of the adherend (T). It is also possible to form a transparent light-colored and transparent layer.
The hue of the coating layer (B) can be appropriately selected depending on the printed image and the background color of the adherend (T).

The color tone of the coating layer (B) may be an opaque water-based acrylic paint containing a non-toxic fluorescent material.
Fluorescent materials are fluorescent paints, phosphorescent paints, etc., and can be mixed with acrylic resin to create various changes in the image background.
Corresponding stickers such as fluorescent images are also available

A 1st transparent film layer (A) is the structure which apply | coated uniformly the commercially available transparent nail enamel which contains a drying oil as a component as a topcoat on the said printing layer (5).
The top coat includes a solvent component having the effect of a surfactant, and thus forms a protective film without affecting the portion drawn with the aqueous acrylic paint.
In the present invention, the flexible performance of the first transparent film layer (A), the second transparent film layer (C), and the third transparent film layer (D) as the top coat is determined by the adherend ( Since the performance to cope with the shape, irregular shape, and curved surface of T) is affected, the performance of each layer (A), (C), and (D) is adjusted by the blending ratio of the coating film forming element, the plasticizer, and the solvent.
At the same time, the thickness to be applied is adjusted.

According to this configuration, the first transparent film layer (A) is a thin film layer that is uniformly smooth and formed without unevenness, and prevents the surface of the printing surface of the sheet substrate (3) from being scratched or distorted. At the same time, the image on the printed surface can be viewed without distortion.
Furthermore, the 1st transparent film layer (A) can visually recognize the white surface whole of the coating layer (B) with the equalized transmittance | permeability.
The first transparent film layer (A) is colorless and transparent, and is a thin film that can be seen through evenly so that the white color of the coating layer (B) does not appear shaded depending on the site. Colors and designs are clearly visible at any part of the image.

The coating layer (B) is coated by spraying an opaque white water-based acrylic paint onto the first transparent film layer (A) with an air brush which is a spray equipment for painting.
The coating layer (B) is formed by spraying the first transparent film layer (A) uniformly on the surface in a thin, opaque white. Carefully form a white surface so that there is no unevenness on the coated surface.

An adhesive layer (7) made of a double-sided adhesive sheet is formed on the upper layer of the opaque white aqueous acrylic paint coating layer (B).
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (7) is made of a flexible pressure-sensitive adhesive material that has a good adhesive force for adhering to the coating layer (B) and does not decrease in adhesive strength due to moisture, and is formed on the sheet substrate (3). By sequentially laminating the first transparent film layer (A) and the coating layer (B) on the printed layer (5) of the designed pattern, etc., it is possible to prevent troubles such that the design layer touches moisture. Yes.
As a result, before adhering to the target adherend (T), moisture can be appropriately applied to release the release water-absorbing paper (4) from the sheet base material (3).

In order to join the adherend (T), the adhesive layer (7) is provided on the upper layer of the coating layer (B), but the material is used or used in a place with moisture, It is preferable to use a water-resistant adhesive.
As long as it has water resistance, there is no particular limitation such as bonding or work glue.
A release paper (9) is attached to the adhesive layer (7).
Incidentally, the reason why the release paper (9) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (7) is not described in the claims is that the technical scope does not differ widely depending on the presence or absence of the description.

On the back surface of the printed layer (5) of the sheet base material (3) where a reverse printed arbitrary image can be viewed as a normal image, a dry oil as a top coat having the same composition as the first transparent film layer (A) is used as a component. To form a second transparent film layer (C) of a commercially available transparent nail enamel.
The sheet substrate (3) is configured to be sandwiched between the first transparent film layer (A) and the second transparent film layer (C).

Furthermore, a commercially available product containing a drying oil as a top coat of the same composition as the first transparent film layer (A) and the second transparent film layer (C) on the second transparent film layer (C). A third transparent film layer (D) using transparent nail enamel or the like is formed.
After the second transparent film layer (C) is dried, the third transparent film layer (D) is applied and laminated.
These are made up of six layers in one piece.

Next, the process will be described with reference to FIG. 3 (process photograph) showing an example of a manufacturing process of a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface compatible seal using the transfer seal according to the present invention.
This manufacturing process is, for example, a manufacturing example of a one-point object seal using a single photograph attached to the side surface of a nail tip (false nail).

Step 1: First, an image to be attached to the adherend (T) is selected from a picture file of a personal computer.
Once you have selected the image you want to use as a sticker, you can import it into a computer and apply the necessary adjustments to the image.
Step 2: Reverse printing is performed on the printing sheet (1), which is a transfer sheet, using an ink jet printer (dye ink type).
Step 3: The printed selection diagram is cut into an arbitrary size.
Cut the printed sheet (1) using “printed image” + “surrounding margin 1 cm” as a guide.
Step 3-1: After cutting, the first transparent film layer (A) is formed as a top coat.
Apply the top coat (adjusted transparent nail enamel), including the blank area, by spraying.
Step 4: A white paint is sprayed on the surface of the first transparent film layer (A) with an air brush to form a coating layer (B).
When the top coat, which is the first transparent film layer (A), is dried, an air brush is used to spray the white color of the water-based acrylic paint on the entire cut sheet. Form a uniform white surface.
Process 5: An adhesive film is affixed on the said coating layer (B), and an adhesive layer (7) is formed.
When the sprayed paint dries, a commercially available glue film is pasted as an adhesive film on the white coating layer (B).
The glue film is prepared in advance by cutting it slightly larger than the working printing sheet (1).
After pasting, the film is rubbed with a soft cloth and brought into close contact with the printed sheet (1).
Step 6: The release paper (4) of the sheet substrate (3) is removed by the following procedure.
The printing sheet (1) with the glue film attached is dipped in water, and the release paper (4) portion of the printing sheet (1) is removed.
The printed image is covered with the first transparent film layer (A), but it may be affected by moisture, so take it out for a few seconds, remove it after removing excess moisture with paper, and soak it in water again. Repeat 3-4 times.
Moisture remaining on the surface of the printed sheet (1) is quickly dried using the heat of light illumination.
Step 7: After removing the release paper (4), a top coat is applied to the surface to form the second transparent film layer (C).
The top coat is applied to the surface of the printed sheet (1) that has been in contact with the release paper (4).
Step 7-1: When the second transparent film layer (C) is dried, the third transparent film layer (D) is formed.
Further, depending on the properties of the adherend (T), the third transparent film layer (D) may be a second transparent film after the pressure-sensitive adhesive body having the laminated structure up to step 7 is adhered to the target adherend (T). A 3rd transparent film layer (D) can also be laminated | stacked on a layer (C).
The third transparent film layer (D) is required to have a performance as a protective film.
At this stage, a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface seal using a transfer seal composed of six layers is formed.
Step 8: The seal formed in 6 layers in Step 7-1 is used by peeling off the release paper on the glue film side and attaching it to the adherend (T).

The problem that the seal is too thin and difficult to handle is that the adjusted top coat is applied repeatedly when the first transparent film layer (A), the second transparent film layer (C), and the third transparent film layer (D) are formed. This slightly increases the thickness of the seal and makes it easier to handle.
In addition, when forming a 3rd transparent film layer (D), although not shown in figure, what wrapped and attached three-dimensional decoration pieces, such as a small bead and a floral pattern piece provided separately, can also be provided.
Furthermore, a fragrance component that volatilizes in air at room temperature is kneaded or mixed into one or more of the first transparent film layer (A), the second transparent film layer (C), and the third transparent film layer (D). Also, we can propose a slightly fragrant seal for deformed and 3D curved surfaces.
With such a process, even a single object can be formed into 6 layers, and a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface compatible seal using a transfer seal with a clear image can be created.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the target adherend (T) is an irregular shape, a three-dimensional curved surface, etc., the conventional thin film seal is insufficient in flexibility and is not easily adapted to the shape. When the release water-absorbing paper (4) laminated on the printing sheet (1) was peeled off without being sufficiently familiar, distortion occurred.
As described above, the thin film sheet substrate (3) on which an arbitrary image has been printed may be wrinkled, loosened, lifted or damaged as shown in the photograph of the conventional sticker in the upper part of FIG. There was a problem that it could not be finished.

Therefore, in the present invention, the second transparent film layer (C) and the third transparent film layer (D) are overlaid on the upper layer of the sheet base material (3).
By further laminating the third transparent film layer (D) on the second transparent film layer (C), there is a further improvement in robustness by the surrounding of the entire periphery of the image, and there is equal flexibility throughout. The prepared surface enhances the reflection of light, improves the gloss as a decorative body, and improves the aesthetic effect.
Like the prototype seal photograph according to the present invention shown in FIG. 5, the image of the seal according to the present invention has a clearness that has not existed in the past, and even hair and feathers can be visually recognized even on a small surface of a false nail.
The contour and color tone of the image are distinguished from the background color and can be clearly seen on both the convex and concave curved surfaces.
In addition, the seal of the present invention is curved corresponding to the curved surface as shown in the lower photograph of FIG.

The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can be used in the present invention will be described.
There are two types of commercially available products, the color of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, which is a sticking means, a colorless and transparent type and a white type, and the first transparent film layer (A) and The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (7) laminated on the design layer provided with the coating layer (B) is a background that more reliably develops the color of the coating layer (B) formed with an acrylic paint of any color The effect can be expected by selecting a product with a white type for the purpose of color.

In addition, due to the property of the exclusive ink included in the printer of the inkjet recording method that the commercial product that can be used in the present invention is designated as a printing device for arbitrary images, it has transparency and cannot be printed in white. The problem that the original color of the arbitrary image cannot be reproduced is dealt with by devising the tint color of the coating layer (B).
When the ground color of the adherend (T) for the purpose of application in the present invention is white or a color close to white, the first transparent film layer of the printing sheet in the production procedure of the present invention described above A step of forming an opaque white coating layer (B) by spraying an opaque white water-based acrylic paint on the entire printed surface on which (A) is laminated using an air brush which is a spray equipment for painting (step 4) Is coated using, for example, transparent acrylic to form a transparent coating layer (B), and further, a colorless and transparent type double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is selected as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (7). You may be able to take advantage of the ground color.

By combining the transparent coating layer (B) and the transparent type double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the portions other than the arbitrary image printed on the colorless and transparent sheet base material corresponding to the printing surface of the printing sheet included in the commercial product are colorless and transparent. Therefore, before attaching to the target adherend (T), it is possible to easily cut a desired portion that is not necessary for decoration such as a margin of an image printed on the base sheet, and The ground color of the adherend (T) can be visually recognized, and by removing a useless sticking surface, an effect of making the sticking work to the target adherend (T) easier can be expected.

However, transparent acrylic instead of opaque white paint in the step 4 is used when the color of the image does not overlap with the ground color of the adherend (T) or the image is covered with multi-colored color. This is a possible alternative only if the kimono (T) has a homogeneous white or near white color.
Moreover, even if the colors generally do not overlap or in the case of white, there are many types and stages of colors, and they interfere with each other, making it a very difficult choice for sharpening the image.
When a color other than white or transparent is selected for the coating layer (B), it is limited particularly when the ground color of the adherend (T) is to be utilized.

In the step of forming the coating layer (B) in the preparation procedure of the present invention (step 4), the substitution of the white coating material as a transparent coating material, etc., unless the composition is different, There are no negative effects that significantly impair the flexibility, workability, and robustness that are the characteristics of the present invention.

As above-mentioned, in this invention, since the color of the double-sided adhesive sheet with which a commercial product is equipped can be suitably selected each time, it is not specifically limited.

In addition, the present invention can be applied to decorative stickers for nails and models that have already been printed with images for everyone according to the prior art by applying the production procedure of the present invention. It is possible to create a deformed / three-dimensional curved surface-compatible seal with easy adhesion at a desired position.

The deformed / three-dimensional curved surface compatible sticker that can easily stick to the desired position using the transfer sticker that can print any image of the present invention can be firmly attached even on curved or rough surfaces. The present invention can be applied to an adherend (T) that is relatively small and has a precisely determined application position, such as a nail chip (pawl) to be attached, a button of a small portable device, and a three-dimensional small projection for a brand provided on the device.
In addition, since any image can be selected by the personal computer software, it is possible to create a single-point creation with a fine art work, an ultra-fine image that could not be done before, and a photo reproduction sticker.
Furthermore, since the coating process of each layer on the printing sheet is an application of the lamination technique, it can be mass-produced, and the field of using the seal can be expanded without being limited in size.
