Abstract
A method of decalcomania in which a toner image pattern is formed on a transfer member which has been overcoated with an abhesive material. A polymeric sheet is interposed between the toner image and a cloth or other image receiving medium. The polymeric sheet assists in the permanent adherence of the toner imaging pattern to the cloth material or other medium when the composite is subjected to heat and pressure. The transfer member and method of its use are set forth. Another embodiment discloses the use of solvent to fix the image to a cloth material.
Claims16
A method of decalcomania comprising xerographically providing a toner image resting on an abhesive substrate, overlaying said image with an interposed sheet of polymeric plasticizing material, placing an image receiving medium in contact with said interposed sheet and applying heat and pressure to the composite formed by said image receiving medium, interposed sheet and said image bearing substrate to form a permanent image on said image receiving medium.
A method of decalcomania comprising xerographically forming an image pattern of toner, transferring said toner to an image receiving medium and passing said medium bearing said toner image under a heated roll to which has been applied plasticizer for the toner material in order to apply said plasticizer from said roll to said toner material to fix said image to said medium.
A method of decalcomania comprising xerographically forming an image pattern of toner, transferring said toner to an image receiving member, overlaying said toner with a polymeric plasticizing sheet and applying heat and pressure to permanently transfer said image to said member.
