My invention relates to imprinted papers,

an article of manufacture, as a class.

One feature of my invention relates to paper particularly adapted for' wrapping' purposes with 'an imprinted background and imprinted designs, characters or labels thereon all resulting 'froma single coloringv liquid pressed into the paper: with different Fig. H is a plan view`of alli-ke. portion Y .20 showing the reverse 4side thereof.

.Like characters referto like parts in the vlews.

The paper 1 has a primary lightest tint 2 which is the same as that ofthe bathin 2.5 which it is immersed. The second tint 3 isf a background. printed about the IabeL'char'- acters or design, and the third tint 4 forms a body tint surroundingv the'design background and its the pa er lllustrated is preferabl printed or co or'ed by use of a process w ch I now employ, the same will be explained. f A Ybath is provided and in connection therewith is a 'roller apparatus, consisting of a lower roller and an 85 upper opposing roller with mechanism to compress the rollers into snug engagement a with each other. The lower roller isof some -resilient material. The upper one is of metal and has recesses 40. therein. Plates having a desig'nor charac- -ters engraved -thereon of kindto that shown in the figures are secured inthe roller recesses with a margin left about the plates. Theseplates are with their 4I surfaces a!A pre-determined slight distance beyond the surface plane of annum. A

selected color liquid 'isfplaced in the bath. l

The surface of the liquid is. generally below the roller' intake. The paper, in strlp rolls,` is-passed into the bath and immersed soas 5to' absorb the liquid throughout its texture and passes Ifrom the liquid between the rollers and thence preferably between wringer rollers outwardly to a drying place. As the paper, saturated with the color liquid, passes throughthe imprinting rollers, the portion thereof over the engraved desi n or characters, and the margin, being w ere thetint 2 is shown, is not engaged bythe rollers or plates,.and the tint 2 remains like that of thebath liquid. The4 plates,'ex tending be'- yond thel roller surface Theremainder ,of the roller surface plane, exerting a diminished pressure upon thepaper, imprints a tint 4, lighter than tint 3 and darker than the bath tint 2. The making of all three tints from a single coloring liquid occurs simultaneously as the paper passes through the imprinting rollers. The' process is extremely rapid,'economical and eilicient.
