Abstract:
An ink jet printable heat transfer material comprising:a flexible first layer having first and second surfaces, the flexible first layer being a film or a cellulosic nonwoven web; anda second layer overlaying and bonded to the first surface of the first layer, which second layer comprises a nonwoven web formed from a thermoplastic polymer; wherein:the first layer has a basis weight of from about 20 to about 140 grams per square meter;the thermoplastic polymer has a melting point of from about 90.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C.;the second layer has a basis weight of at least about 10 grams per square meter; andthe second layer contains from about 0.1 to about 20 percent by weight, based on the weight of the second layer, of a material which increases the viscosity of an ink jet ink when printed on the second layer.
