METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF IMAGE ON SURFACE OF TITANIUM PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B41M5/00 G03C5/00 

FIELD: printing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of advertising, printing and photography, and is intended to produce high-strength images on metal products, in particular, on the surface of titanium products, and can be used in various fields of industry, arts and crafts. The method includes obtaining an image on the intermediate base, the image transfer on the surface of the product, high temperature burning of the product with the printed image in the oven. As the product for transferring image the titanium sheet is used. Before applying image the titanium sheet is subjected to high temperature burning at a temperature of 890-1020°C to form on its surface of a layer of the titanium oxide uniform in thickness, exposed by this temperature for 15-90 minutes. The burning temperature is selected depending on the desired shade of coloring of the oxide layer, and the exposure time - depending on its desired thickness, the image transfer is carried out on the surface of the obtained titanium oxide layer, and a high temperature burning of the product with the applied image is carried out at a temperature of 550±15°C.

EFFECT: increasing longevity of the images obtained, simplification and reduction of cost of the technologic process of their preparation, as well as the high artistic quality of the image to produce its various shades.
