Image transfer sheets and a method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing image transfer sheets comprising the steps of:

• applying a water-impermeable layer onto a release-coated, flexible substrate;
• applying a water-activatable adhesive layer onto the water-impermeable layer;
• and
• applying a water permeable detack layer onto said layer of adhesive.

A method of manufacturing image transfer sheets comprising the steps of:

• applying a layer of water-activatable adhesive onto a flexible substrate;
• after applying a layer of water-activatable adhesive onto a flexible substrate, drying said layer of adhesive in a dryer with heat and dehumidified air;
• applying a water permeable detack layer atop said layer of adhesive;
• and
• applying a water-impermeable layer to said flexible substrate prior to the step of applying a layer of water-activatable adhesive onto said flexible substrate, said water-impermeable layer being in between said substrate and said adhesive layer.

A method of manufacturing image transfer sheets comprising the steps of:

• releasably applying a layer of water-activatable adhesive onto a flexible substrate, wherein the layer of water-activatable adhesive is removable from the substrate;
• after applying a layer of water-activatable adhesive onto a flexible substrate, drying said layer of adhesive in a dryer with heat and dehumidified air;
• and
• applying a water permeable detack layer atop said layer of adhesive.
