Filed: 1902-10-02
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 21,440. Southwood, W. E. W., and Wharflitho, Ltd. Oct.2. Printing fabrics; printing-rollers; printing-surfaces; etching.-The fabric w is printed by an engraved roller d and an impression roller b, above which is mounted a guide-roller c ; the rollers b, c are covered with rubber or other yielding material. Ink is supplied to the roller d by means of inkers m, rollers n, inking-cylinder l, wavers k, k<1>, k<11>, vibrator j, ductor i, and ink trough h. In preparing the printing surface of the roller b, a roughened surface is first produced thereon by etching slightly, or by means of a sand blast, or other equivalent means, and a design is then drawn on the roughened surface by means of ink composed of lampblack and some fatty medium ; this drawing is made by any convenient process, such as a photo-mechanical or transferring process. The roller is then treated in a bath of nitric acid, potassium bichromate, or other suitable chemical, so as to fix the design, then rolled up with a fatty ink or an acid-resisting material, and mounted on a mandrel arranged to rotate in an etching-bath. When the fine portions of the design have been sufficiently etched, the etched surface is washed with water and rolled up with a resist ink, or the design is dusted with dragon's blood, bitumen, or the like, and the roller is heated to cause the ink or other resist to melt and run down the sides of the metal projections which form the details of the design, thus preventing any under-biting of these parts during the subsequent etching process or processes. The printing-surface may be broken up by the formation of an extremely-fine grain, as between different designs of a series, and at parts corresponding with " whites" in the design ; this may be effected in the manner described in Specification No. 2472, A.D. 1899.
