Patent ID: 6893676

Claim:
A method of making a glowing puff heat transfer material comprising the steps of: (a) creating a design and storing the design on a computer as a computer image; (b) separating the computer image into one or more separate computer-generated color images; (c) transferring each of the one or more separate computer-generated color images onto a color-sensitive medium to create one or more separate color layers; wherein the step of transferring each of the one or more separate computer-generated color images on a color-sensitive medium comprises the steps of: transferring each of the separate computer-generated color images onto a plate to create the one or more separate color layers, each of the plates receiving one of the one or more separate color layers; transferring each of the one or more separate color layers to film; coating one or more mesh screens with a photosensitive material; after the photosensitive material has dried, transferring the one or more separate color layers from the film to the one or more mesh screens whereby each mesh screen receives one color layer; exposing the one or more mesh screens to ultraviolet light, the ultra violet light sensitizing an area around each color layer while leaving the coating under each color layer desensitized; and washing the plurality of screens to remove the desensitized color images (d) applying one or more glowing inks to the one or more separate color layers, wherein each of the one or more glowing inks corresponds to one of the separate color layers, the one or more glowing inks comprised of a photoluminescent glow-in-the-dark powder; (e) creating separate material layers; and (f) applying the separate color layers and the separate material layers to a substrate.
