• (c) loading the inkjet printer with a first disperse dye inkjet ink suitable for printing onto the transfer medium, the first disperse dye ink containing a first disperse dye having a first activation temperature;
• (d) printing onto the transfer medium using the first disperse dye inkjet ink in response to the digital data signals to create a disperse dye printed transfer image of the image on the transfer medium;
• and
• (e) applying the printed transfer medium onto the object under temperature conditions at or above the first activation temperature, for a time sufficient to effectively transfer the disperse dye printed transfer image from the transfer medium to the object to create the image on the object,
• wherein the transfer medium is a textile transfer medium that is a knitted or woven fabric comprising fibers consisting essentially of fibers selected from the group consisting of cotton, linen, ramie, viscose, lyocell, polyamide, polyolefin, polyacrylonitrile, aramid and elastene fibers, and blends of two or more thereof.
