ABSTRACT:
An improved pennant and a method of producing this pennant is disclosed. Designs are printed on a paper material using an offset printing press. Special dispersal inks are used and applied to the paper. The paper is not special, however, the paper must accept the applied ink without running. The colors are printed in sequence usually the reverse of normal printing with the design in a mirror image. A design (photo, painting, etc.) is reproduced on the face or portion of the pennant. This pennant is made of man-made fiber and die cut to a final size. At the long end of the pennant a perforation is made during die cutting so that it can be folded under or over and after printing this folded portion is sewed to form a tube for the insertion of a stick or rod. The paper is cut by die cutting or a guillotine and along at least one edge must be cut very accurately so that this edge of the paper can act as a guide when placed against an edge of the already cut pennant material. Paired sets are then placed in a transfer press for sixteen seconds at one hundred and eighty degrees Centigrade. The timing and temperature may be adjusted for different requirements. The printed paper is usually slightly larger than the material and the dispersion that occurs during the transfer process appears to the very edge.
