Abstract
A method and transfer sheet for transferring creative and personalized designs onto a tee shirt or similar fabric is described. The design can be created manually, electronically or a combination of both using personal computers, video cameras or electronic photocopiers. The transfer sheet includes a polymer-based iron-on transfer sheet supplied with an additional overcoating of resin mixed with abrasive particles. When cured, the abrasive particles in combination with the resin serve to enhance the receptivity of the transfer sheet to various inks and wax based crayons used in the creation and coloring of the designs.
Claims4
A transfer sheet consisting of:
- (a) a substrate;
- (b) first coating on said substrate of material transferable from said substrate to a receptor surface by the application of heat or pressure thereto;
- and
- (c) a second coating on said first coating, said second coating consisting essentially of a mixture of Singapore Dammar resin and abrasive particles to form an abrasive surface for increasing receptivity of the transfer sheet.
A transfer sheet comprising:
- (a) a substrate;
- (b) first coating on said substrate of material transferable from said substrate to a receptor surface by the application of heat or pressure thereto;
- and
- (c) a second coating on said first coating, said second coating consisting essentially of a mixture of resin and sugar granules to form an abrasive surface for increasing receptivity of the transfer sheet.
