A method for manufacturing a colored sheet for coloring an object by adhesion to the object includes, a coloring step of applying by spraying, a first coating fluid containing first microp articles for coloring to a thin film of a print receiver body which has a sheet-shaped support body and the thin film, the thin film being peelably held on the sheet-shaped support body to serve as a base material of an adhesive sheet which is to be adhered to the object, and a restricting step of applying by spraying, before the coloring step, a second coating fluid for restricting the first microparticles from penetrating the thin film to a location where the first coating fluid is to be applied.

A method of forming solder paste on an object is provided. The method includes providing a multilayered stencil, each stencil layer having an aperture formed therethrough from a top surface of the respective stencil layer to a bottom surface of the stencil layer. The method also includes applying the stencil to a surface of the object. The method also includes filling a void space formed by a combination of the apertures in the stencil layers with solder paste. The method also includes removing the stencil layers in a sequential manner to leave the solder paste.

A method for assembling a shoe upper and a bottom unit includes digitally determining a bite line on the shoe upper. The method further includes storing a set of data representing the bite line in a computing device. The method also includes utilizing the set of data to automatically indicate the location of an actual physical bite line on the shoe upper.

Articles and methods for archival raised image printing is disclosed. The process includes modifying an electronic image, printing the image on a paper substrate to form a printed substrate, applying the printed substrate onto a barrier substrate via an applicator such that the applicator creates a wall around the outer edge of the image, coating the printed substrate with a varnish composition, and drying the printed substrate in a humidity controlled environment. This configuration provides an efficient system of archival printing to print raised images on an article.

The present invention relates to silver ink for printing a three dimensional microstructure and a 3D printing method using the same. The present invention provides a method for printing a 3-dimensional silver structure pattern, the method including: a step of providing a nozzle with liquid ink including capped silver nanoparticles and exhibiting Newtonian fluid behavior; a step of forming, at a predetermined point on a substrate, a meniscus of the liquid ink with ink extruded from the nozzle; a step of allowing the ink of the nozzle to be extruded by means of the surface tension of the meniscus while moving the nozzle along a path in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, in a direction parallel to the substrate, or according to a combination of said directions; and a step of forming a silver structure pattern corresponding to the movement path of the nozzle by evaporating a solvent from the extruded ink from the region closer to the substrate. The present invention can provide a 3D printing method based on direct ink printing that is suitable for application to 3D printing electronic technology.

Apparatus and methods of applying a pattern onto a web with improved uniformity are provided. One or more micro-contact printing stamps are disposed onto a roll with a seam between each adjacent stamp edge. The micro-contact printing stamps are configured and arranged such that the web always contacts the micro-contact printing stamps to provide a consistent contacting pressure to drive the roll.
