Description

FORM OF BUSINESS THAT HAS ASSOCIATED INTEGRAL LABEL, COVERED COMPOSITION FOR RECEIVING IMAGES OF ORGANIC PIGMENT AND METHOD TO PRODUCE THE FORM OF BUSINESS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION This application corresponds to a continuation-in-part of the patent application of the U.S.A. Serial number 08 / 011,715, filed on February 1, 1993, which was a continuation-in-part of the US patent application. Serial No. 07 / 684,202, filed on April 12, 1991. The present invention is directed to a business form having an associated integral label that is capable of receiving organic pigment images without peeling or delaminating or smudging. The invention also addresses a particular method for producing this form of business. DESCRIPTION OF PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In the manufacture of business forms, there are many circumstances where it is convenient to form a comprehensive self-adhesive label but finally separable as part of one or more sheets of the business form. There are also many circumstances where it is convenient to print or make barcode on the label sticker. It is highly desirable that this printing or bar code formation does not flake off or embroider, particularly in applications for inventory control and storage. The use of electronic means to produce a variety of images for different applications continues to expand. Examples of the imaging technologies employed include electrophotography, magnetography, electrostatics, inkjet, thermal transfer, etc. The materials used to generate visible images can be dry organic or liquid pigments or water based inks, based on solvents or hot melt base. The imaging materials can be fused to the substrate by heat, pressure or a combination or by solvation in the case of organic pigments. There is a need for improved adhesion of organic pigments to substrates to prevent smudging, staining, and flaking of the image found in subsequent handling. In general, paper is used as the image-forming substrate in these systems. It has been found that the degree of merging quality varies with the grade and source of the paper used. Also, it is sometimes convenient to image on substrates other than paper such as plastic films, thin metal foils or textiles. EP 0 595 511 Al discloses a method for providing a business form having an associated integral label, from a sheet having a first face capable of receiving printing, and a second face having a higher affinity for transfer ribbon adhesive that the transfer belt backing, comprising the steps of: (a) applying a strip of transfer tape only to a portion of the second face of the sheet, with the transfer tape adhesive contacting the sheet, so such that the sheet material completely surrounds the transfer ribbon strip; (b) matrix cutting a label on a portion of the first side of the sheet within the area of the sheet finally superimposing the transfer ribbon strip on the second side of the backing sheet; and (c) print signals on the first side of the sheet. The uses of the prior coated paper technique which have primarily been directed to uses for ink-jet registration. Binder and polymer pigments or particulate silica have been used to form coated substrates for recording paper for inkjet and optical bar code printing. In general, the applied coatings have been at a coating weight greater than 2 g / m2 per side of the substrate. For example, EP-A-0 121 916 discloses paper for ink-jet recording comprising on a base sheet with a Stockigt sizing degree of less than 4 seconds, a coating layer of preferably 3-12 g / m2 comprising a binder. polymer soluble in water and particular fine silica particles.

There is a need for a business form having an integral integral label, which is capable of providing improved adhesion of organic pigments and will resist staining, smudging and flaking of the organic pigment image in subsequent handling. The present inventors have found that an integral label in a business form that is coated with a dispersion of particulate silica and polyvinyl alcohol binder, at a coating weight of less than 2 g / m2 per side of the substrate, provides improved pigment adhesion organic and reduced staining, smudging and flaking when a number of different substrates are used including paper, plastic films, thin metal foils and textiles. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as incorporated herein and broadly described herein, a method is provided for producing a business form having an integral tag (or a plurality of tags) associated therewith, using a sheet having a Stockigt sizing degree greater than 25 seconds, a first side capable of receiving printing, a second side having a greater affinity for transfer ribbon adhesive than the transfer ribbon backing. The transfer belt is a relatively inexpensive and commonly available product that is easily used to form the labels according to the invention. According to the method of the invention, to act on a sheet (for example in the form of a weft) of paper having first and second faces, the following steps are practiced: (a) applying a strip of transfer tape only to a portion of the second face of the sheet, with the transfer tape adhesive contacting the sheet, such that the sheet material completely surrounds the strip of transfer tape; (b) before or after step (a), die-cutting a label on a portion of the first face of the sheet within the area of the sheet superimposing the strip of transfer tape on the second face of the sheet ( if step (b) arrives before step (a), then die cutting may include small straps, to keep the label in place, (c) apply a coating less than 2.0 g / m2 to a portion of the first face of the sheet, in an area that includes the label, wherein the coating comprises a composition that includes from about 50 to about 90 parts of particulate silica and about 10 to about 50 parts of a polyvinyl alcohol by dry weight; d) printing or forming bar code signals on the coated portion of the first side of the sheet Step (d) may be practiced before steps (a) and (b) or between steps (a) and (b) Initially, the sheet can be in continuous format, this is in in the form of a paper web during the practice of steps (a) to (c) and if so, is the additional step (e) of separating the web into individual webs, each individual web contains at least one tag. Step (a) can be practiced by: (i) cutting a strip of transfer ribbon from a weft or transfer ribbon; and (ii) transport the strip to the sheet with adhesive facing outward and apply the strip to the second face of the sheet, using a vacuum cylinder. Step (b) can be practiced by matrix cutting of a label completely within the area of the sheet superimposing the transfer belt. In order to use the integral label formed according to the invention, it is simply necessary to remove it from the form when it is detached from the transfer belt backing, the adhesive of the transfer tape remains with the label, that is to say separating from the transfer belt backing. The invention also relates to a single-part or multiple-part business form having an associated integral label, which is capable of receiving organic pigment images without flaking or smudging. The business form of the invention includes a sheet that has a Stockigt sizing degree greater than 25 seconds, a first face capable of receiving printing and a second face having a greater affinity for transfer ribbon adhesive than the transfer ribbon backing. The shape also includes a transfer strip, applied to a portion of the second face of the sheet, with the transfer tape adhesive contacting the sheet, such that the sheet material completely surrounds the transfer ribbon strip. The form further includes a label cut with a matrix from a portion of the first face of the sheet within the area of the sheet finally superimposing the strip of transfer tape on the second side of the backing sheet. A coating less than 2.0 g / m2 is applied to a portion of the first side of the sheet in an area that includes the label. The coating is an organic pigment receiving composition that includes from about 50 to about 90 parts of a particulate silica and from about 10 to about 50 parts of polyvinyl alcohol, by dry weight. The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and several illustrative embodiments of the invention are incorporated into and constitute a part of this specification and together with the description, help explain the principles of the invention.

Figure 1 is a schematic view of the exemplary apparatus for producing business forms of the present invention; Figure 2 is an end view of an exemplary business form produced in accordance with the invention, with the thickness of the components greatly exaggerated for clarity of illustration; Figures 3 and 4 are top and bottom views respectively of a business form like that of Figure 2; Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 which only shows the labels removed; and Figure 6 is a side view of an exemplary multi-part business form produced in accordance with the present invention, with the thickness of the components greatly exaggerated for clarity of illustration. DESCRIPTION nKTAT.TADA OF THE INVENTION The exemplary apparatus for practicing exemplary methods in accordance with the present invention is generally illustrated at 10 in Figure 1. The apparatus 10 acts on a sheet 11, which is typically in the form of a weft having a first face 12 and a second face 13, the frame finally constituted in the form of individual businesses at some stage in the processing. The sheet 11 is typically bond paper, although it may be of another sheet material having desired characteristics. If desired, conventional perforating means 14 can be provided in the most upstream portion of the sheet 11 which moves in the direction 15 to form individual shapes from the sheet 11. Means are provided for transporting the sheet 11 in the direction 15. These transport means typically comprise a plurality of energized tractor pairs, as schematically indicated at 16 and 17 in Figure 1. In order to provide an integral label with the sheet 11, according to the present invention, the conventional transfer 19 which is removed from a ribbon roll 20, is cut into strips which are then applied in spaced relation to the second face 13 of the sheet 11. To achieve this, the conventional transfer belt 19 - which includes a backing 21 and an adhesive 22 on one side (see Figure 2) - is removed from the roll 20 with the adhesive side facing out. Transfer belt 19 is then fed by a plurality of rollers, including rollers 24 having their surfaces coated with a release material (such as silicone coating) such that the adhesive 22 of the transfer belt 19 will not adhere , and also guided by other rollers 25, is finally fed to a cutting cylinder 26 which cooperates with the vacuum cylinder 27. The cutting cylinder 26 cuts the transfer belt 19 into individual transfer belt strips 29 as seen in FIG. Figures 1, 2 and 4, which are applied to the second face 13 of the sheet 11. The second face 13 has a higher affinity for the adhesive 22 of the transfer belt strips 29 than the back 21. Virtually all the papers typical bonds have such affinity. The basic apparatus 10 may comprise a conventional Tamarack labeling machine available from Tamarack Products, Inc., of Waconda, IL, modified to have silicone-coated rollers 24 and matrix cutting means 32. The cutting cylinder 26 cooperates with a vacuum cylinder 27, with the vacuum cylinder 27 forming an anvil for the cutting cylinder 26. The support for the vacuum mounting cylinder 27 (and cutting cylinder 26) with respect to the transport means 16, 17, the vacuum cylinder 27 is mounted in such a way that strips of transfer belt 29 are applied to the second face 13, as the blade 11 moves in the direction 15. When a strip of transfer belt 29 is applied to the second face 13 of the sheet 11, the transfer belt strip 29 is completely encircled by the sheet 11 as seen in Figure 9, and the transfer belt strips 29 are spaced from each other - as indicated by reference numeral 30 in Figure 4 - in the direction 15. Typically, only one strip of transfer belt 29 can be provided per each sheet 11, which is finally constructed in an individual business form; however, two (or even more) transfer ribbon strips 29 may be provided in association with a sheet 11, if desired.

Spaced from the vacuum cylinder 27 - illustrated downstream in the direction 15 - die cutting means 32 (see Figure 1) are preferably provided. Matrix cutting means 32 can alternatively be upstream of the vacuum cylinder 27 (in which case the die cut thus formed will have to include small struts to hold the label in place for subsequent processing). The conventional matrix cutting means 32 act on the first face 12 to cut through the material forming sheet 11, to cut a label from the sheet 11. However, die cutting means 32 does not cut the backing 21 from the transfer tape. As seen in Figure 3, cut-off lines with matrix are illustrated by the reference numeral 33, and the labels formed therein are illustrated with the reference numeral 34. The die cut lines 33 are placed in such a manner which superimpose the backing 21 of the transfer belt strips 29. Typically, the die cut lines 33 are completely within the area of the transfer belt backing 21, at least in the "top" and "bottom" of the sheet 11 (the "cap" or leading edge of the sheet 11 is illustrated by the reference number 35 in Figures 3 and 5), and preferably also on its side edges. A printing medium 37 is also associated with the other apparatus of Figure 1. Printing means 37 will print on the first side 12 of the sheet 11, the first side 12 is receptive to printing (as virtually all bond paper). The printed signals are seen at 39 in Figures 3 and 5, and also typically include signs 40 on the labels 35. Printing means 37 can be placed as illustrated in Figure 1, but preferably are disposed before the vacuum cylinder 27 or between the vacuum cylinder 27 and the cutting means with matrix 32. When, as is typical, the sheet 11 is in continuous form during the performance of these operations, a means for cutting individually 42 - see Figure 1 - < • can be provided downstream of the rest of the components (for example 27, 32, 37). Alternatively, the forms can be supplied in a continuous format and separated by the end user. When the sheets 11 are used according to the invention, it is simply necessary to separate the labels 34 from the remainder of the sheet 11 in the die cut lines 33. Because the labels 34 have a higher affinity for adhesive 22 than the backing 21, the backing 21 remains (see Figure 5) while the labels 34 have adhesive 22 on its backing, as illustrated for the lower part of the separate labels 34 in Figure 5. During conventional processing, other conventional techniques and mechanisms they can also be used, such as the removable tractor push strips illustrated in dotted lines on opposite sides of the sheet 11 in Figure 3. Multiple-part shapes can also be produced. Figure 6 illustrates a multi-part shape 45 produced in accordance with the invention. In the multi-part form illustrated in Figure 6, the upper component 46 (or an inner layer of the shape, such as the second layer of a three-layer construction) comprises paper with the transfer belt strip 29 on its side and a label (not shown but like similar labels 34) formed on its upper part. A number of additional sheets 47, 48 that can be connected together - as indicated at 49 at one end - are also provided, in any desired order. Alternatively, instead of the construction as illustrated in Figure 6, each of layers 46 to 48 may have one or several associated integral labels. In the use of the apparatus 10, the transfer belt strips 29 are applied to a portion of the second face 13 of the sheets 11, such that the transfer belt adhesive 22 contacts the second face 13 of the sheet 11 and in such a way that the laminar material surrounds the transfer belt strips 29. After this stage, the individual integral labels 34 are cut with matrix from the first face 12 of the sheet 11 within the area of the sheet that superimposes the strip of transfer belt 29 on the second face 13, without cutting the transfer belt backing . Signs 39 are printed on the first face 12, typically downstream of the vacuum cylinder applying strips of transfer belt 29. Printing can also be performed upstream of the perforation means 14. In this way it will be seen that according to the present invention, a simple yet effective method has been provided, as well as a business form with integral label thus produced, using only simple equipment and easily available components to build the business form. According to the invention, as incorporated herein and widely described herein, the integral label of the business form of the invention is covered with coating means 36 (Figure 1) with a composition that allows the label to receive printed signals without forming flakes or smudges. Specifically, a portion of the first side of the sheet includes a coating composition obtained from a coating formulation comprising particulate silica, water and a polyvinyl alcohol binder. As used herein, the coating formulation refers to the mixture that is initially applied to the substrate, while the coating composition refers to the coating after application and drying.

The coating formulation comprises about 25 to 45 parts by weight of particulate silica, about 10 to 50 parts by weight of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol binder and about 25 to 45 parts by weight of water. The water content can vary widely while maintaining the contents of silica and binder within the above relationship. The resulting coating composition can vary from about 50 parts to about 90 parts of silica by dry weight and from about 10 parts to about 50 parts by dry weight of polyvinyl alcohol binder. A preferred coating formulation comprises about 25-45% of a dispersion of 20% particulate silica solids, more preferably 36% in water, about 10 to 50% of a 10% solution of partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, plus preferably 28% and approximately 25-45% water, more preferably 36%. Alternatively, the particulate silica can be a 12% solids dispersion. Additional water or some other polar solvent may be added to the coating composition of the invention to adjust the viscosity to that most suitable for the coating process employed. Suitable polar solvents include alcohols such as isopropanol, ethanol, butanol, and mixtures thereof. Other additives may also be included, for example biocides such as Nalco 7620 WB, which is an aqueous solution of methylene bis thiocyanate and ethylene glycol (available from Nalco Chemical Co., Naperville, IL), defoamers such as Nalco 2311, 2340 or 2308 polyglycols. (Nalco Chemical Co.), talee slip agents such as zinc stearate, calcium stearate and steararaide or anti-displacement compounds such as wheat starch, pea starch and cellulose fibers. The coating composition according to the present invention is particularly useful in imaging with organic pigment. The coating composition provides improved adhesion to substrates to prevent smearing, staining, and flaking of the organic pigment image. The coating composition can be applied to any of the commonly known substrates such as paper, plastic films, thin metal foils or textiles. Specific applications include financial documents or titles that require a very high degree of security to avoid alteration of image, and also documents that require resistance to subsequent handling to avoid rubbing, smudging, flaking, creasing, erasing, striping and scratching ( scratched). According to the invention, the coating formulation can be applied by spot coating using conventional techniques such as flexographic printing, engraving, reverse roll, X-screen, etc. The coating may be dried by conventional means such as hot air, microwave, radio frequency or infra-red convection. When using coated paper of the invention in a laser printer, it is convenient that the moisture content of the paper is in the range of 4.2-5%, to avoid the paper being too conductive (water content too high) or accumulation of static electricity (water content too low). According to the invention, the coating step can be carried out before steps (a) and (b) of the method of the invention, before step (b) and after step (a), before step ( a) and after step (b), or after step (a) and (b). According to the invention, the coating composition can be applied to a portion of the first face of the sheet, such that the coating completely overlaps the label. Alternatively, the coating can be applied only to one position on the label. The coating of the invention may optionally include a sizing agent (sizing). Preferred sizing is predominantly composed of starch, but may incorporate other fillers or additives such as for example calcium carbonate, clay, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol, acrylic ethene polymer, styrene maleic anhydrides, melamine formaldehyde resins, glyoxal, zirconium salts or quaternized amides. Sizing can be acidic, alkaline or neutral. The coating composition of the invention is applied to a coating weight of less than 2.0 grams per square meter per substrate side, preferably between 0.8 and 1.6 g / m2 per side of the sub-layer and more preferably of approximately 1.1 or 1.2 g / m2. . The coating weight is preferably applied in a single coating step. It has been found by the inventors that at coating weights, substantially greater than 2.0 g / m 2, fusing (adhesion of organic pigment when subjected to creasing and scratching) deteriorates, pencil receptivity is poor, and the coefficient of friction It is increased by making feeding more expensive for buyers and stackers. Particulate silicas that can be employed in the invention include for example CAB-0-SPERSETO II, CAB-O-SPERSE *** A-205, CAB-O-SPERSE "* A-105, CAB-O-SPERSE" "P -1175, CAB-O-SPERSE * "1 S-109, CAB-O-SPERSE" * P-1010 (available from Cabot Corporation, Cab-O-Sil Division, Tuscola, IL) and Aerosil 130, Aerosil 200 and Aerosil MOX80, available from Degussa Corp., Ridgefield Park, New Jersey CAB-0-SPERSEMR II, CAB-O-SPERSE "* S-109 and CAB-O-SPERSE" * A-205 are preferred, each of which is an aqueous sludge made of synthetic, smoked and colloidal silica CAB-O-SPERSE "* II is a 20% dispersion of silica in water, the silica has a pH of 9.0 to 10.5.

Test Method for Measuring Adhesion / Anchor e of Picrmento Organic To evaluate the anchoring properties of organic pigment the following procedure was used. Tape Collection A 10.16 cm (4 inch) strip of Magic tape (3M brand scotch tape) is applied to the printed area to be tested using light loe fingerprinting. Then the average pressure of the fingers was applied forward and backward over the area of the tape, for a total of 10 steps or travel. The end was held and the tape slowly detached from the printed area. Magic tape was applied lightly to another test area and removed and carefully placed on the record sheet. Fold The substrate folded inward and folded into the printed area. The substrate was unfolded and scratched in the folded area using light pressure. Calculations The adhesion / anchoring of organic pigment in the printed product is rated on a scale of 1 to 6, being 1 the best. The evaluation was eubjective and depends on the appearance of the image before and after the test. The breakdown of the scale is as follows: 1 - No loss of organic pigment 2 - Slight loss of organic pigment detected only in good tape product 3 - Except loss of organic pigment from marginal image-product 4 - Moderate loss of pigment organic image - product below standard 5 - Strong loss of organic pigment, deep-hole or image of damage-failure of product 6 - No adhesion of organic pigment to the subetrato- product fails beyond that qualified as 5.

19. 19. The business form according to claim 14, characterized in that the re-application applies only to a portion of the label. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Business forms that have integral labels with their sheets (instead of mounted on top) are produced by applying a strip of transfer tape to only a portion of the second side of a sheet, with the adhesive of the transfer tape. contacting the sheet, such that the sheet matl encircles the transfer ribbon strip completely. Then, it cuts with a matrix a label of the first face of the sheet, preferably after the transference tape is applied, within the area of the sheet that supposes the strip of transfer tape, without cutting the transfer belt backing. . A layer or coating of less than 2.0 g / m2 is applied to a portion of the first side of the sheet in an area that includes the label. The layer is a composition that includes from about 50 to about 90 parts of a particulate silica and about 10 to about 50 parts of a polyvinyl alcohol, by dry weight. At some point, signal bars are printed or encoded on the first side of the sheet. The label can be easily removed, with the adhesive on the transfer tape that sticks to the label, while the transfer ribbon backing remains in place. The transfer belt strip is cut from a web and then transported with the adhesive side facing outward by a vacuum cylinder, which moves in contact with a moving web. The plot eventually forms into individual or continuous business forms that can be multi-layered. HS / bo / 23 / K «-lr / M45-9495
