20130191969 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING WEAR-RESISTANT IMAGES ON SANDALS - A sandal production method includes the application of a primer applied, preferably by wiping, to the latex or other printing surface of a sandal blank structure which may be applied and then wiped from the latex surface. The sandal shaped polymeric mass may be cut from a sheet of dense polymeric material, it may include sandal strap bores, and may have layers of flexible paint (preferably white) applied. A jig is disclosed for providing a support for multiple primed sandal blanks to save time in the printing process. Treatment of the printed sandal support with a protective overlayer is taught. | 08-01-2013 |
