Abstract:
1. A transfer capable of applying one- or multi-colored patterns to textiles under heat and pressure, wherein the transfer comprises: a carrier sheet having a non-binding surface; a one- or multi-colored pattern printed on the carrier sheet by means of a digitally controlled color printer using a colorant composition adapted for use in such printer; a transparent or white-pigmented elastomer polymer layer printed configuratively on top of said pattern and forming a hardened homogeneous unit with said colorant composition in the one- or multi-colored pattern, said elastomer polymer having a plasticizing point that is above the envisaged application temperature of the final transfer; and a heat-activatable thermoplastic polymeric glue layer printed configuratively on the transparent or white-pigmented elastomer layer, or a heat-activatable hot melt granulate sprinkled on the elastomer layer while said elastomer layer was still wet; wherein said one- or multi-colored pattern consists of a colorant composition printed on the carrier sheet by means of a digitally controlled dry electro-static color toner printer using thermoplastic powder color toners.
