Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for creating diagrams such as survey maps, etc., using a generally popular electrophotographic copying machine that transfers toner images onto copy paper, which is difficult to copy on thick paper, etc. Its main feature is that it can easily and inexpensively produce diagrams with excellent accuracy and aesthetic appearance on paper.

Diagrams such as survey maps are often required to be drawn on special paper materials such as cardboard for special reasons such as handling and aesthetic reasons. In this case, since copying is difficult, conventional techniques rely on printing, regardless of the amount, but such a method requires a lot of labor and imposes an enormous economic burden.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and will be described in detail below with reference to drawings of embodiments.

The present invention first utilizes an electrophotographic copying machine M that transfers a toner image onto a copy paper, and uses paper of a paper quality such as a release paper that is highly removable for surface deposits as the copy paper 2 to conduct a survey. An intermediate drawing 3 is obtained by copying the original drawing 1 of a drawing such as a diagram, and excluding the fixing process of the toner image.
(See drawings A and B). The copying paper 2 with excellent releasability is preferably a release paper or plastic film with a smooth surface. Furthermore, the reason for excluding the toner image fixing step is, of course, to avoid the fixation of the toner image. Just before the fixing process begins, the release paper can be removed by turning off the switch. Of course, the fixing process can be automatically omitted by rearranging the switch circuit in advance.

That is, as a result, the intermediate diagram 3 is formed in a state in which the line diagram is not fixed on the paper due to the releasability of the copy paper and the exclusion of the fixing process of the toner image.

Next, after pasting a transparent or translucent adhesive film 4 coated with an adhesive onto the intermediate figure 3,
The surface is lightly pressed to transfer the toner image to the adhesive film 4 side, thereby creating a transferred image 4'. That is,
Due to the unfixed nature of the intermediate diagram 3, when the adhesive film 4' is overlaid and pressed thereon, the line diagram is easily transferred to the adhesive film 4 side, and furthermore, after the transfer, the film 4 is peeled off. Transfer drawing 4' is obtained (see drawings C, D, and E).

Finally, the transferred diagram 4' is adhered to cardboard or other desired mount 5 to obtain the desired diagram (see drawings). At this time, since the transferred image is sticky, no adhesive is required. In addition to cardboard, various materials such as a plastic plate, a metal plate, a wooden plate, etc. can be used for the mount 5.

The method for creating diagrams according to the present invention is as described above.
This can bring about the following effects.

(A) When drawings are required for the intended purpose on mounts that are difficult to copy, such as diagrams of survey maps, etc., the drawings can be easily and inexpensively created simply by using an electrophotographic copying machine, reducing the labor cost. , the economic merits are extremely large. This is particularly effective when producing in small quantities.

(B) Original drawings can be easily revised. That is, since inappropriate line drawings can be corrected at the intermediate drawing stage of the present invention, it is possible to correct the inappropriateness of the original drawing and correct it to a more precise drawing.

(C) The drawings created are durable and aesthetically pleasing.
In other words, the line diagram of the transferred toner image is on the back side of the film (adhesive side), so it does not come into direct contact with air or water, making it highly durable and water resistant. When applied, excellent aesthetic effects can be obtained.

(D) It can be applied for a variety of purposes. That is, in addition to survey drawings, the present invention makes it possible to draw line drawings, characters, patterns, photographs, etc. on materials that were conventionally considered difficult to copy.As a result, adhesive transfer drawings can be printed on plastic boards.・Can be applied to many applications such as advertisements, murals, posters, etc. by adhering to metal plates, wooden plates, etc.

As described above, the present invention is an extremely advantageous invention that utilizes an electrophotographic copying machine at hand to bring about a number of effects.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 Using an electrophotographic copying machine M that transfers a toner image onto copy paper, first use paper with high releasability as the copy paper 2, and convert the original image 1 into a toner image without going through the toner image fixing process. A transparent or translucent adhesive film 4 coated with an adhesive is pasted onto the intermediate diagram 3, and the surface thereof is pressed to form the toner image by copying. A method for creating diagrams using an electrophotographic copying machine, characterized in that the transferred diagram 4' is created by transferring the image to the adhesive film 4 side, and finally the transferred diagram 4' is adhered to an arbitrary mount 5. .
