Electrophotographic decalcomanias

A method of decalcomania comprising xerographically forming an image pattern of toner, transferring said toner to a subbing layer material which rests on an abhesive member, coating said toner and subbing layer with overcoating material said overcoating material comprises a plasticizer or solvent for the toner and/or the subbing layer at the temperature of transfer, placing said overcoated image bearing member in face contact with a cloth, applying heat and pressure to said cloth and member and stripping said cloth from said member.

A transfer member comprising successively an abhesive material, a subbing layer and a xerographically formed toner image.

A decalcomania transfer member comprising a substrate, a silicone polymer overcoating said substrate, a low melting temperature polymeric material overcoating said silicone, a xerographically formed toner image resting on said low melting polymeric material and a plasticizer overcoating said toner image and said low melting temperature polymeric material.

A method of decalcomania comprising xerographically forming an image pattern of toner, transferring said image to a subbing layer material which rests on an abhesive member, contacting said image carrying member with a sheet, heating said image carrying member while in contact with said sheet and separating said imaged member and said sheet to produce a sheet bearing a permanent image.
