    [0001] New processes for real photo embroidery technology for garments in a sustainable and eco-friendly way Field of the invention
    [0002] The instant submission claims Total International Priority and All Rights of the Paris Convention to the United States Document with Serial Number 62 / 433,729, filed on December 13, 2016 and to the Indian Serial Number______ presented on February 10, 2017, assigned both to ECC See Level Innovation, LLC.
    [0003] The present disclosures refer to the manner in which images are printed on garments. Specifically, immediate disclosures teach an improved process that replaces the sublimation processes currently used to produce more vibrant colors consistently.
    [0004] The present disclosure also improves processes by which images printed on paper are then used for conventional sublimation transfer with heat rollers that are more efficiently managed and in ways that are more friendly and less harmful to nature.
    [0005] Background of the disclosures
    [0006] Complex graphics are obviously difficult to print on active surfaces. Those who work with fabrics have evolved over the years to use aspects of woven fibers to improve graphic results and production. The prior art is not comfortable or user friendly to date.
    [0007] Traditional sublimation is not a viable process in the sustainable world and the costs to create factories and the amount of waste has created the need to improve processes. Together with superior optics, immediate processes address these lasting needs.
    [0008] Objects and summary of the invention
    [0009] Simply put, recycled fibers have generated an improved sublimation version that makes colors more vibrant and fabrics better viewed by consumers, along with numerous industrial efficiencies. Processes, products and a completely new approach are offered for consideration.
    [0010] In accordance with the embodiments, an improved and eco-friendly green process is provided to produce images on garments, comprising in combination, providing a desired image from any necessary means, transferring or scanning it to a computer by scanning or transferring an image of art file, create the file, converting it into a file that can be digitized, to convert the art file into a readable file for embroidery, use recycled threads and inks, which allows the transfer of images to the thread through the printer heads and directly to embroidery needles with colors infused into fiber holes, such as with recycled polyester.
    [0011] Brief description of the drawings
    [0012] Various preferred embodiments are described herein with references to the drawings in which merely illustrative views are offered for consideration, whereby:

    [0018] Detailed Descriptions
    [0019] The present inventor has discovered that a holistic approach to make better fabrics for garments to be worn by humans is the best approach. He has partnered with a co-inventor who works with farmers for the best organic cotton growers. They work with companies that have imported plastic waste, they spin in a cotton fiber or mixed threads at various caliber weights and produce fabrics.
    [0020]
    [0021] The present inventors move sidewalk waste plastics to new reusable PETs (see Figure 4). The pellets are recycled and extruded into a long fiber to create 100% recycled polyester. Each prior art t-shirt has approximately three bottles, our REAL PHOTO EMBROIDERY TECHNOLOGY uses approximately one or less bottles, based on the size of the art file of course. In PRET the products are manufactured with a recycled pretty wire of heavier caliber.
    [0022]
    [0023] The process is known to those skilled in the art who have seen it work - and which is claimed below, begins with a desired image, which our factory achieved by computer by scanning or transferring an art file image, in the same way that the files for screen printing or sublimation printing are established, as is known to artisans.
    [0024]
    [0025] Once the file is created, we create in a way that can be digitized, to return to this art file in a readable file for embroidery.
    [0026]
    [0027] REAL PHOTO EMBROIDERY TECHNOLOGY (PRET) is what defines our processes, as described and claimed below. Our new technologies have been customized. We had to create a way for our yarn fibers to be infused with inks with applications applied directly to the thread stitch by direct stitching to a garment or fabrics outside panels and / or completely finished products. We have no limits dictated by the maximum loom space. Right now we are using a custom built loom and embroidery machines with custom printer heads. We have specialties and creative ways are limited to how we transfer the thread to the printer heads and how to embroider the needles with color. According to the embodiments this process can be in black garments in 100% cotton. With our process, our threads are recycled and our inks too. The inks are colored and infused in the hollow fiber of the recycled polyester. This creates a channel (tunnel) in this way that you can trap with heat as it is being applied directly to the fiber of the CMYK color process. Next, the thread gauge is fed through and into the needle, directly with the embroidery on the garment or fabrics.
    [0028] Once this process is completed the garment has a soft touch on the back side for all end users. See the attachment of undergarment sewing paths, as well as the provisional one of the United States Appendix which shows test results with products by the process of the present invention.
    [0029]
    [0030] As shown in Figure 4, the flow of adaptation 100-800 of an embroidery machine and computers, to add and transfer 100 art files to the PRET. As for printing, this is clearly innovative, the way it is done. Inkjet style heads were used from recycled products and are recreated directly for our use in one direction only. Fantastic 3 in one. Ink heads for needles and heater heads with infusion were added to our process. And they can read the pixels per square inch in a continuous line to provide precision and color saturation as the strands are applied to the fabric. The infusion is by heat, see Figure 5, for example. Referring still to Figure 4 and 5 (schematic diagram of an exemplary fiber) without wishing to be limited to any particular mechanism for how the coloration works with the fibers 232, either of bosses, customers, consumers or those that store, share, send by continuous flow or otherwise collect images 400 are functionally and operatively linked to the smart device 300, or networked thereto and / or linked to the cloud. This PRET 100 process integrates any image stored, used or obtained as an art file with undated data modified by at least one of the database / artificial intelligence of any other homunculus or human being necessary to convert it into a PRET file 200. Once the interaction with the intelligent device 300 is completed below - for example, recycled threads or other fabrics 600 are used to make types of PRET 700 fabrics, including those of plastic waste 500. Similarly, recycled or post inks -processed 550 further reduce the environmental impact. Finally, the finished products 800 are visible (see also Figure 3) that can in any shape or silhouette incorporate vibrantly colored fabrics that have a soft touch and do not challenge the wearer or the wearer with friction-based offenses or attacks on the upper layers of the user's dermis, for example, wearing a T-shirt of Figure 3. Figure 5 shows a cartoon / schematic diagram of the exemplary fiber 232, and aspects of the process for infusing it with color. Those skilled in the art readily understand that heat energy opens pores similar to aperture allowing programmed color selections to be implemented - and the database altered by PRET 200 whereby post-color cooling closes pores in whole and in part. and closes related separate spaces, cracks and spatial openings to produce 700 resulting fabrics that have 3D optics and soft touch to incorporate into any known 800 pieces.
    [0031]
    [0032] We can make a sample in minutes and now we can produce 20,000 units in production 6 days a week. The efficiency and results achieved with Real Photo Embroidery Technology (PRET) are now strongly demanded among the market.
    [0033]
    [0034] To summarize, most sublimation printing is a "so-called" CMYK process and is quite conventional. The large aluminum plate press process is configured one per color in the press Huntingtonburg, very voluminous, very expensive, for its configuration and very large, minimums per art file are required. Most sublimation companies have access to this conventional type of printing. After the tracks are completed they are transferred to a special eucalyptus finishing paper that holds most of the ink that is then ready to transfer by heat and to large roller press machines, from direct paper to the garment on which they put the paper that runs through the pressure and take the garment directly to the business or for retail sale. The result is poorly transferred images, with larger border regions, and not user friendly or that tend to create friction over time against the user's skin. This is because sublimation uses a support material that makes high friction. The PRET process eliminates these problems.
    [0035]
