Abstract
The present invention includes an image transfer sheet. The image transfer sheet comprises a release layer and a polymer layer. One or more of the release layer and the polymer layer comprise titanium oxide or other white pigment.
Claims31
An image transfer article, comprising:
- an image-imparting member, including at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred and including at least one portion comprising a concentration or configuration of pigment providing an opaque background for received indicia, the opaque background having a substantially non-transparent effect allowing the received indicia to be visible when transferred to a dark-colored base;
- and
- a removable substrate disposed adjacent, and underlaying, the image-imparting member, the removable substrate including a coating comprising at least one of silicone, clay, resin, fluorocarbon, urethane, or an acrylic base polymer.
An image transfer article, comprising:
- an indicia-receptive layer including at least one surface configured to receive and carry transferable indicia;
- a removable substrate including a release coating;
- and
- a white layer disposed between the indicia-receptive layer and the release coating, the white layer including a white or luminescent pigment providing a substantially opaque, non-transparent background for received indicia and concurrently transferable with received indicia upon, and following, application of heat.
1 more element
An image transfer article, comprising:
- a removable substrate including a substrate surface overlaid with a release coating;
- and
- a first layer overlaying the release coating, the first layer configured to be overlaid with at least a second layer configured to receive indicia;
- wherein the first layer includes a concentration or configuration of pigment providing an opaque background having a substantially non-transparent effect for received and transferred indicia.
1 more element
An image transfer article, comprising:
- an ink-receptive layer, including at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred;
- a white layer underlaying the ink-receptive layer, the white layer including a pigment providing a substantially non-transparent, opaque background for received and transferred indicia;
- a polymer layer including ethylene acrylic acid underlaying the white layer;
- and
- a silicone-coated removable substrate underlaying the polymer layer.
2 more elements
An image transfer article, comprising:
- an ink-receptive layer, including at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred;
- a polymer layer including ethylene acrylic acid underlaying the ink-receptive layer;
- a white layer underlaying the polymer layer, the white layer including a pigment providing a substantially non-transparent, opaque background for received and transferred indicia;
- and
- a silicone-coated removable substrate underlaying the white layer.
2 more elements
An image transfer article, comprising:
- an ink-receptive layer, including at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred and including a concentration or configuration of pigment providing an opaque background for received indicia, the opaque background having a substantial non-transparent effect allowing the received indicia to be visible when applied to a dark-colored base;
- a polymer layer including ethylene acrylic acid underlaying the ink-receptive layer;
- and
- a silicone-coated removable substrate underlaying the polymer layer.
