Thermal Transfer Ribbon Marking |
摘要 |
Objects of arbitrary shape and size are marked by a method using a thermal transfer ribbon. The method comprises the steps of creating a graphic on a thermal transfer ribbon, joining the graphic-bearing ribbon to a receptor substrate, removing the graphic-bearing ribbon from the receptor substrate, placing the graphic-bearing ribbon on a target object with the graphic in contact with a surface of the target object, applying sufficient heat and pressure to the graphic-bearing ribbon such that the graphic is transferred from the ribbon to the surface of the target object, and removing the ribbon from the surface of the target object. |

1. A method of applying a graphic to a surface of a target object, the method comprising the steps of:
A. Creating a graphic on a thermal transfer ribbon to form a graphic-bearing ribbon, and attaching the graphic-bearing ribbon to a receptor substrate; B. Removing the graphic-bearing ribbon from the receptor substrate such that the graphic is retained on the ribbon; C. Applying the graphic-bearing ribbon to a surface of the target object such that the graphic is in contact with the surface of the target object; D. Applying sufficient heat and pressure to the graphic-bearing ribbon to release the graphic from the ribbon and to attach the graphic to the surface of the target object; and E. Removing the ribbon from the target object such that the graphic remains on the surface of the target object. |
