Abstract
A printing method includes an ink image forming step and an ink image retransferring step. In the ink image forming step, an ink image is formed on a hot melting type adhesive layer of a transfer sheet by using a heat-sensitive image transfer type recording device. In the image retransferring step, the ink image and the hot melting type adhesive layer are transferred onto an image receiving member such as a cloth by heatedly pressing the transfer sheet.
Claims5
A printing method for exclusively printing an imaging section onto an image receiving member comprising the steps of;
- preparing a transfer sheet comprising a hot melting type adhesive layer and another layer formed over the hot melting type adhesive layer, the another layer being capable of being perforated upon heating, the perforated portions corresponding to an intended imaging section for providing a perforated latent image;
- heating said another layer to form said perforating portion;
- heatedly pressing the transfer sheet on the image receiving member for melting the hot melting type adhesive layer and for allowing the melted hot melting type adhesive layer to flow through the perforated portion, whereby only the imaging section can be provided on the image receiving member.
