Patent ID: 8826902

Claim:
An image transfer article, comprising: a removable substrate, the substrate including a first and a second substrate surface, the first substrate surface abutting a release-enhancing coating; and a peel member overlaying, and peelable from, the release-enhancing coating, the peel member including a polymer component portion configured to carry image indicia to be transferred, the polymer component portion having a melting temperature of from about 43° C. to about 300° C., the polymer component portion including ethylene acrylic acid having an acrylic acid concentration within a range of 10% to 20% by weight or having a melt index within a range of 60 to 500 g/ 10 min; wherein the removable substrate and the release-enhancing coating are configured to transfer external heat, when applied to the second substrate surface, to the peel member sufficient to encapsulate the image indicia on an image-receiving substrate during an image transfer process.
