Abstract:
A method for transferring an image onto a backing of textile fabric comprising the steps of:providing a transfer sheet consisting essentially of a substrate of plain paper only without any release treatment or coating applied thereto, and a transfer coating of thermoplastic polymeric film material bonded on a transfer side of the plain paper substrate; forming a toner image on said transfer sheet in an electrostatic dry toner copier/printer by dry toner developing and fusing onto the polymeric film coating of the transfer sheet and without applying any adhesive overcoating or solvent layer thereon; and transferring the toner image to the backing of textile fabric by placing the polymeric film coating against the textile fabric and applying suitable heat and pressure for a sufficient time to an obverse side of the transfer sheet until the polymeric film material becomes tackified and adheres to the backing of textile fabric sufficiently to allow the plain paper substrate to be stripped away therefrom.
