Silkscreen process for producing a design and proximate inscription
First Claim
1. A method of producing a design on a surface which comprises:
- (a) forming a first film composite comprising a central portion and a plurality of opaque portions in predetermined areas which correspond to areas of said surface adapted to receive an inscription; and
(b) forming a second film composite having a central portion of dimensions equal to the dimensions of said central portion of said first film composite, said second film composite having a substantially opaque border with a plurality of transparent inscription characters spaced about said border, wherein said opaque border of said second film composite comprises means for forming openings on a second silkscreen in order to print a second predetermined color on said surface which is different from a first predetermined color to be printed on said surface through a first silkscreen.

Abstract
A process for producing designs on canvas and/or other articles which are adapted to be printed by a silk-screen process. The process involves printing inscriptions around a framed design, with the inscriptions having a color different from the color of the frame on which the inscribed characters are printed. The process involves producing a first composite of a first film sheet which has a border having a predetermined plurality of offset opaque portions and a second film sheet which has a design of a color corresponding to the colors of the plurality of predetermined portions. Another film sheet composite includes a border having a different opaque color and a plurality of transparent portions on the border; the transparent portions being positioned so as to correspond in position to the opaque portions on the border of the first composite. The central portion of the second film sheet composite includes a design for producing a second color, via a silkscreen frame, which is similar to the color of the second border, with the two colors contrasting with each other. In this fashion, the color of the indicia on the border will have different colors.

9. A method of producing a design, and inscription data proximate said design, on an area of a surface, said method comprising:
-
(a) creating a first silkscreen for printing at least a first portion of said design in a central portion of said area and for partially printing said inscription data outside of said central portion of said area by printing a background area where said inscription data are to be printed; (b) creating a second silkscreen for printing at least a second portion of said design in said central portion of said area and for at least partially printing the remainder of said inscription data outside of said central portion of said area by printing over at least a portion of said background area in the shape of said remainder of said inscription data; and (c) printing at least a portion of said design and said inscription data with said first silkscreen and said second silkscreen, comprising the steps of; (i) conducting a dye of a first color through said first silkscreen for printing said at least a first portion of said design and for at least partially printing said inscription data by printing said background area where said inscription is to be printed; and (ii) conducting a dye of a second color through said second silkscreen for printing said at least a second portion of said design and for printing said remainder of said inscription data by printing over said portion of said background area in the shape of said inscription. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
