COATING METHOD OF REFLECTIVE FILM

Abstract

A coating method of reflective film is first to prepare a glass beads film and then select a color to be coated. The color is composed of plural primary colors in fixed ratio, making the color have a standard ratio, which is obtainable from an original database. Next, ratios of the primary colors are respectively adjusted to form a printing ratio according to color fastness, permeability and light barrier property of each primary color attached to the glass beads and then, each primary color is orderly spray coated on the glass beads film to form a coating layer with micro-printing technique in accordance with the printing ratio, thus completing manufacturing of a reflective film with high transmittance and high wide angle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0011] A preferred embodiment of a coating method of reflective film in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes the following steps:

[0012] A first step is to prepare a glass beads film 10, which contains a film 11 and a plurality of glass beads 12 covered on the surface of the film 11.

[0013] A second step is to select a color to be printed and obtain the standard ratio of the color. Each color contains plural primary colors and the ratios of the primary colors are respectively constant value to make the color have a standard ratio, which is obtainable from an original database. In this preferred embodiment, the original database is a CMYK color code database and each color is composed of four primary colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black).

[0014] A third step is to adjust the ratio of each primary color of the standard ratio for forming a printing ratio in accordance with difference of color fastness and permeability of each primary color attached to the glass beads 12. The printing ratio can be gained from an adjustment value database and in this preferred embodiment, the permeability of each primary color attached to the glass beads is shown in the following table:

TABLE-US-00001 primary color cyan magenta yellow key permeability 10.5% 22.8% 68.2% 0%

[0015] The fourth step is to have the primary colors orderly spray coated on the glass beads film 10 with micro-printing technique in accordance with the printing ratio after adjusted. The primary colors will flow through the glass beads 12 and then flow to the surface of the film 11 to form a coating layer 20 with the color on the surface of the film 11 for shaping a reflective film 100.

[0016] For specifically understanding the structural features, the technique employed and the expected effect to be attained of this invention, the method of application of this invention is hereby stated as follows:

[0017] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a user first prepares the film 11 and has the surface of the film 11 covered with a plurality of glass beads 12 and then selects a color to be printed and obtains the standard ratios of the four kinds of primary colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and key of the color from the original database. Subsequently, the user obtains the permeability of each primary color attached to the glass beads 12 from the adjustment value database and adjusts the ratio of the primary color to form the printing ratio according to the permeability of each primary color. For instance, the color in this preferred embodiment adopts CMYK color code, and the permeability of the primary color yellow is higher than that of other primary colors so the ratio of yellow will be increased. Lastly, a way of micro-printing is employed to have the primary colors orderly spray coated on the glass beads film 10 according to the printing ratio to complete manufacturing of the reflective film 100. By so designing, the reflective film 100 of this invention is unnecessary to mix the color in advance and also needless to carry out scraping of the surface of the glass beads after printing, able to attain good transmittance and wide angle, and simple and convenient in manufacturing processes. What is worth mentioning is that the primary colors are high transparent ink with comparatively high permeability.

[0018] Referring to FIG. 3, after the reflective film 100 is formed, a glue layer 30 is hot pressed on the film 11 at one side opposite to the glass beads 12, and a release paper 40 is combined with the surface of the glue layer 30 and thus, after the release paper 40 is torn off, the reflective film 100 can be attached to any article.

[0019] Thus, through the adjustment value database, the ratios of the primary colors can be adjusted in accordance with color fastness and permeability of each primary color attached to the glass beads 12 and then, the primary colors adjusted in ratio are orderly spray coated on the glass beads film 10 via the micro-printing technique, able to greatly enhance transmittance and wide angle. Therefore, the method of producing the reflective film in the present invention is unnecessary to mix the color beforehand and needless to carry out scraping of the surfaces of the glass beads after printing, having good transmittance and wide angle, and simple and convenient in manufacturing processes.

[0020] While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the sprit and scope of the invention.
