Liquid pressure transfer ink, liquid pressure transfer film, liquid pressure transfer article and liquid pressure transfer method

摘要

A pattern-transferring film having a print pattern provided on an upper surface thereof is floated on a liquid surface within a transferring bath and an objective body is immersed into a liquid within the transferring bath together with the pattern transferring film under a liquid pressure so as to transfer the print pattern onto the objective body. An ink set of at least blue, yellow and red inks is used for printing the pattern on the pattern-transferring film. Each of the printing inks comprises at least a resin ingredient and a pigment including color pigments. The color pigment for the blue ink is a phthalocyanine blue, the color pigment for the yellow ink is an isoindolinone yellow and the color pigment for the red ink is a quinacridone red. The ink set may include one or both of a white ink and a black ink. The color pigment for the white ink is a titanium white and the color pigment for the black ink is a carbon black. All the five color printing inks have a weather resistance of more than 3000 hours on a weather resistance test by a JIS based sunshine weather meter and therefore a color tone of the transferred pattern obtained by using these printing inks is balanced and the pattern transferred article having such a transferred pattern has the same weather resistance, which causes the article to have its life span maintained.
