Patent GB-2136353-A (GB)
Title: Transfer Materials
Inventor: SHEPHERD JOHN VICTOR
IPC: B41M3/12
Filed: 1983-03-02
Abstract: Transfer materials are made by using a master sheet which is used in conjunction with an ink/adhesive material. The latter may take the form of a sheet coated with a removable image-forming layer, e.g. a black pigmented layer having thereunder a likewise removable adhesive layer, or it may be a wet ink which is acceptable only in certain areas of the master sheet and which dries on the master sheet to give an adhesive surface. The master sheet has indicia-defining areas such that when it is brought into contact with e.g. a coated sheet and pressure applied, coloured and adhesive layers on the sheet transfer from the coated sheet to the master to give a shaped indicium. Alternatively the master may be contacted with wet ink, the ink transferring only as a shaped indicium. This shaped indicium has, in the latter case after drying, its adhesive side outwards and can subsequently be transferred from the master sheet to a desired receptor surface, e.g. a piece of artwork or an article, by rubbing down in conventional fashion. The master can then be re-used by re- applying ink/adhesive material.
