Systems and devices for transferring images to white and light colored articles

A transfer sheet for transferring an image onto a substrate, the transfer sheet comprising:

• a support layer;
• an image transfer layer overlying the support layer, wherein the image transfer layer comprises a first layer and a second layer, the second layer comprising an ink receptor, wherein the first layer comprises a binder, wherein the second layer comprises a printcoat layer and a basecoat layer, wherein the basecoat layer comprises one or more materials that increase an opacity of the printcoat layer;
• and
• a release layer between the support layer and the first layer, wherein the release layer comprises a crosslinking agent.
