Abstract

A pattern-transferring film having a print pattern provided on an upper surface thereof is floated on a liquid surface within a transferring bath and an objective body is immersed into a liquid within the transferring bath together with the pattern transferring film under a liquid pressure so as to transfer the print pattern onto the objective body. The print pattern is obtained by being printed by using an optional printing ink or inks of blue, yellow, red black and white inks or an ink or inks prepared by blending the printing inks. The liquid pressure pattern-transferring ink or inks comprise at least a resin ingredient and a color pigment. The resin ingredient of each of the color inks is composed of a fluoropolymer resin and the color pigment of each of the color inks is an inorganic pigment. In this manner, with liquid pressure pattern-transferring ink comprising the resin ingredient of the fluoropolymer resin and the inorganic pigment in spite of its color, all the color printing inks have a weather resistance of 5000 hours or more determined by a JIS based sunshine weather meter. Thus, there occurs no removal of the transferred pattern out of the objective body which tends to be caused by a deterioration of the resin ingredient, if otherwise and the color of the transferred pattern neither changes nor fades, which enables the article to have its life span maintained for a longer period.
