ABSTRACT:
Process for printing long-piled material, particularly for imitating the hides of animals. In the process, in a continuous passage and in one or more steps, varying quantities of a coloring paste, according to a predetermined design, are imprinted at least on the back of the pile material while it is held under tension. After imprinting, the coloring paste is pressed into the pile material by mechanical force applied by pressure rollers. If both the front and the back of the material are to be printed, color paste is first imprinted on the front and the material then pressed, after which color paste is imprinted on the back of the material and the material pressed again.
Apparatus for performing the process comprises printing units through which the material passes under tension, and a pressing unit is provided between each two successive printing units. In one form, using a drum, each printing unit has a printing roller with an engraved surface, the depth of the engraving varying from one engraving to another according to a predetermined pattern. Extra-deep engravings are provided on the rollers printing on the back of the material. The front of the pile material is printed by means of a band which transfers color paste from a printing unit to the pile of the material, the band having a structured contact surface. As an alternative, the pile material can be printed by rotary screen printing techniques, using an endless conveyor belt instead of a drum.
