Spreading Film: The film is spread out on the water surface of
the dipping basin. The water bath is heated and kept at a
constant 30°C. The film dissolves and only the ink image
remains floating on the water.
Activating: The ink is sprayed with an activating material so
that it becomes adhesive. After spraying with activator, the
ink must sit for 3 minutes.
Transferring: The parts are dipped into the water through the
layer of liquefied ink. The image is pressed to the parts evenly by
the pressure of the water. If there are several parts to be dipped,
they are mounted to a fixture and dipped simultaneously.
Washing and Drying: The printed parts are washed to rinse off
remaining pieces of film, and dried. Due to the exposure to water
here, Z Corp. parts must be well infiltrated and finished completely
with the primer, even if the image is to be partially applied.
Top Coating: The parts are clear coated or varnished to protect
the printed surface. A varying degree of gloss can be achieved
by using different top coats. Polishing completes the process.
