Abstract
The present invention includes an image transfer sheet. The image transfer sheet comprises a release layer and a polymer layer. One or more of the release layer and the polymer layer comprise titanium oxide or other white pigment.
Claims22
A method of making an image transfer article, the method comprising:
- obtaining a removable substrate;
- coating the removable substrate with at least one of silicone, clay, resin, fluorocarbon, urethane, or an acrylic base polymer;
- overlaying the coated removable substrate with one or more polymer layers;
- and
- combining at least one of the one or more polymer layers with a pigment, thereby providing an opaque background for received indicia.
2 more elements
A method of making an image transfer article, the method comprising:
- obtaining a coated removable substrate;
- overlaying the coated removable substrate with an image-imparting member, the image-imparting member including at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred;
- and
- combining at least one portion of the image-imparting member with a pigment providing an opaque background for, and concurrently transferable with, received indicia.
1 more element
A method for enabling transfer of an image to a colored or black substrate, the method comprising:
- providing an image transfer article, comprising an image-imparting member, including at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred and at least one portion comprising a pigment providing an opaque background for received indicia;
- and
- a removable substrate disposed adjacent the image-imparting member;
- wherein the removable substrate is peelable away from the image-imparting member;
- wherein the image-imparting member is contactable to the colored or black substrate such that received indicia face away from the colored or black substrate;
- and
- wherein heat is applicable to at least the image-imparting member so that received indicia and the opaque background are transferable to the colored or black substrate at substantially the same time.
