Abstract
A transfer ink suitable for dispersion from a felt nib pen upon a paper substrate for subsequent transfer by heat to fabrics formed at least partially from synthetic fibers. The ink comprises of a sublimation dye, organic solvent or water, binders and an optional non-ionic surfactant. It is particularly adapted for household, as distinguished from commercial use.
Claims2
The method of forming an ink design on a textile surface comprising the steps of:
- providing a paper substrate;
- providing a transfer ink consisting essentially by weight of 5 to 10% of an organic dye selected from the group consisting of aniline and azo dye;
- 50 to 85% of a primary solvent selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether and alcohols;
- 5 to 34% of a secondary solvent having a boiling point substantially higher than that of said primary solvent selected from the group consisting of higher boiling point ketones, alcohols, glycols and aromatic solvents;
- 1 to 5% of a binder selected from the group consisting of alcohol soluble rosins, esters, ethyl cellulose, natural gums and shellac;
- using a felt nib dispenser, applying said ink to a surface of said substrate;
- allowing said ink to dry;
- placing said surface of said substrate in juxtaposition to said first mentioned textile surface, and applying heat to transfer at least a portion of said ink to said first mentioned surface.
