[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The decorative material of the present invention has a first decorative layer and a second decorative layer on the surface of a base material. The base material that can be used for the decorative material of the present invention is not limited in its material and form. Any material can be used as long as it can supply and fix the ink to the surface of the base material by printing or the like. Specific examples include papers suitable for various uses, various plastics such as polyvinyl chloride and polyester, and metals such as cellophane, aluminum, and stainless steel. The form of these substrates is not particularly limited. It has a form suitable for the use of the substrate, such as a sheet, a film, and a tube.

Each of the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer has a pattern decomposed into a net-like dot shape. In the present specification, a pattern is decomposed into a halftone dot pattern when a symbol is formed as an aggregate of halftone dots (dots), and a symbol is created by a printing technique capable of expressing gradation similarly. , And not solid (meaning that the dot area ratio is less than 100%). As the form of the halftone dot, various forms known in the art, such as a square dot and a chain end, can be adopted.

[0008] The design of the first decorative layer is formed with a normal printing ink. There is no particular limitation on the type of ink. Inks containing various pigments and dyes can be used. Preferably, an ordinary pigment ink that does not totally reflect, multiple-reflects, or scatters light is used.

[0009] The design of the second decorative layer is formed of a multi-reflective ink. The multi-reflection ink is a light-transmitting ink, which means that the light reflection direction is controlled in a certain direction, and the ink is an ink. Multi-reflective inks appear bright when viewed from the direction that reflects light, but because of light transmission when viewed from the direction that does not reflect light,
This ink allows the surface of the base to be recognized and the ink itself to be concealed. Specific examples include pearl pigments, pearl inks containing natural pearl essence, basic lead carbonate, mica, titanium oxide-coated mica, and the like. Note that the second decorative layer is preferably formed on the first decorative layer.

By providing the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer as described above, when viewed from the direction in which the multiple reflective ink used for the second decorative layer reflects light, the second decorative layer is provided. The pattern of the first decorative layer is conspicuously displayed. On the other hand, when viewed from the direction in which the multiple reflection ink does not reflect light, the design of the second decorative layer is hidden, and the design of the first decorative layer is conspicuously exposed. That is, two-sidedness is formed.

[0011] Such duality becomes clearer as follows. That is, it is preferable that the first decorative layer has a dot area ratio of 50% or more and less than 100%, and the second decorative layer has a dot area ratio of 30% or more and less than 100%. In this case, the concealment of the second decorative layer from the first decorative layer when viewed from the direction in which the multiplicity of ink reflects light is achieved favorably. Also, when viewed from the direction in which the multiple ink does not reflect light, the design of the first decorative layer becomes clear. More preferably, the halftone dot area ratio of the first decorative layer is 6
0% or more and less than 100%, and the dot area ratio of the second decorative layer is 50% or more and less than 100%.

The pitch of the halftone dots is preferably 15 lines / inch or more. When the number of lines is equal to or more than this, it is possible to simultaneously secure the clarity and the concealing property of the pattern decomposed into a mesh point. More preferably, 25 line / inch
That is all.

The halftone dots of the design of the second decorative layer may or may not overlap the halftone dots of the design of the first decorative layer. When the brightness of the base material is high, the halftone dots of the first decorative layer and the halftone dots of the second decorative layer can obtain a mutual hiding effect even if they do not overlap. It is preferable that halftone dots in the pattern of the second decorative layer overlap by 30% or more. In this way, the mutual symbol hiding effect is effectively exhibited. In particular, when the brightness of the base material is low, the effect of hiding each other's design is enhanced.

Preferably, the first decorative layer has a pattern formed with a single color ink with a tone difference, and the second decorative layer has a pattern formed with a single color multiple reflective ink different from the pattern with a tone difference. Have the formed symbol. Thereby, the two-sidedness of the color is added, and the two-sidedness of the design is further emphasized. Here, being formed by the tone difference means that the symbol is formed by a dot-like gradation.

Preferably, the first symbol and the second symbol are overlapped. This is because the mutual concealment effect of the first symbol and the second symbol is enhanced.

Further, it is preferable that the first design ink is lighter in color than the second design ink. By doing so, the second symbol is hidden more effectively. In particular, the first
This is more effective in the case where the symbol and the second symbol overlap. Specifically, the ink forming the first symbol is white,
If the color of the multi-reflection ink of the second symbol is higher than that of the ink forming the first symbol, the color has a color with low saturation such as beige and gray, and a high lightness. Specifically, it is the case of pearl gold, pearl red, pearl purple, pearl blue, pearl green, pearl pink and the like.

When the color of the base material is dark or dark, both the pattern of the first decorative layer and the pattern of the second decorative layer are clearly displayed, and the two-sided effect is high. Becomes This is particularly noticeable when the ink of the design of the first decoration layer is lighter in color than the ink of the second decoration layer. In the case where the decorative object to which the decorative material is applied is a dark or dark color system, the same effect can be obtained by using a transparent base material.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
This embodiment is an example in which a first decoration layer and a second decoration layer are formed by screen printing. On the surface of the base material 2 having a black solid surface, a female face pattern 4 is printed with a light gray color ink (Teikoku Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) with halftone gradation.
) To form the first decorative layer 6. The second decorative layer 10 is formed by printing the pattern 8 on the head of the robot with pearl gold ink (manufactured by Teikoku Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) in a gradation of halftone dots so as to overlap the pattern 4 on the female face. did. Further, it was covered with a clear layer 12. The pattern 4 and the pattern 8 have the same contour, and the female face and the robot's head are formed so as to overlap with each other. When the decorative material has two faces, one face corresponds to the female and the robot's face. And are configured to look like each. The dot area ratio of pattern 4 is 60%
Is less than 100% and the dot area ratio of the pattern 8 is 50%
It was less than 100%. The dot overlap rate was approximately 40%.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when the decorative material is viewed at an angle at which the pearl gold ink does not reflect light,
Only the pattern 4 of the woman's face printed with light gray ink was clearly visible, and the pattern 8 of the head of the pearl gold robot printed thereon could not be perceived through light. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the decorative material is viewed at an angle at which the pearl gold ink reflects light, the pattern 8 of the robot printed with the pearl gold ink can be clearly recognized, and the light gray ink can be used. The printed female pattern 4 was concealed and could not be recognized. According to this embodiment, the first design 4 and the second design 8 also overlap in position, the light gray ink is lighter than the pearl gold ink, and the base material is black. As a result, the two-sidedness of the two designs 4 and 8 was favorably exhibited, and the respective designs 4 and 8 could be clearly seen.

The above-described preferred modifications of the present invention can be applied to the decorative material of the present invention by combining one or more of these. In addition, a clear layer may be provided on the front surface, or an adhesive layer or a release paper may be provided on the back surface of the base material as necessary for various decorative materials.

As described above, the design of the first decoration layer may be concealed by the design of the second decoration layer, and the design of the second decoration layer may be concealed by light transmission. . As a result, the design of the first decorative layer and the design of the second decorative layer are expressed on the decorative material with two faces.

Specifically, the decorative material of the present invention includes various kinds of interior and exterior materials for construction, a chassis, a glass surface of a vehicle, a packaging container, a sealing material, a sheet material, a label, and the like to be applied to the surface of an advertising object. Is preferred. In addition, the base material is provided with a first decorative layer and a second decorative layer according to the present invention as various types of building interior / exterior materials, vehicle outer plates, vehicle glass, packaging containers, and objects to be advertised. Is also preferable. In addition, the decorative material of the present invention is preferably a transfer paper that exhibits the decorative effect of the present invention by using a transfer paper as a base material. It is also possible to obtain a decorative body having the decorative effect of (1). Further, a method of decorating the surface of an article so as to include the first decoration layer and the second decoration layer in the present invention can be performed. Specifically, such a first decorative layer and a second decorative layer are formed directly on the surface of the article, or a decorative material including the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer is applied to the surface of the article. To achieve this.

More preferably, the decorative material or decorative body of the present invention is applied to a movable object. This is because if applied to a movable object, the two-dimensionality of the design is expressed according to the movement of the object, and the design effect is high. Such a movable object is a vehicle.
