<p>A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRINTING WITH PAINT Thermoplastic or photosensitive paint is used to print a design defined by a paint-pervious opening in a silk screen or by a debossed surface of a plate or a roller. An insert in the screen, plate or roller defines code dating or other indicia for printing with the design, if desired. The paint is spread from a supply reservoir across the surface of the screen or carrier by a squeegee and/or doctor blade. When thermoplastic paint is used, the screen, plate or roller is heated. A distensible transfer member made of soft silicone rubber is heated to carry thermoplastic paint from the design in the silk screen, debossed plate or debossed roller onto the surface of an article where the paint hardens upon contact by solidification. Ultraviolet light is used to harden the photosensitive paint on the article.</p> |
