Abstract: A heat activatable printable material for the ink-jet printing process comprising a support and a heat-activatable polymer layer. The polymers of the polymer layer is a mixture of nonionic water soluble polyethylene oxide polymers with the general formula H—[—O—CH2—CH2—]nOH, and an aliphatic polyester type polyurethane resin. The polymer layer is ink-jet printed and heat activated to adhere to a substrate with the support remaining on the polymer layer after adhesion of the polymer layer to the substrate.

Abstract: A printable image transfer material comprising a siliconized support, an adhesive polymer containing layer applied on the support and an image receiving layer arranged on the polymer layer, said adhesive polymer containing layer being substantially free of pigment and cold-peelable from the siliconized support, said image receiving layer comprising solid particles, a binder mixture of a highly elastic, film forming first binder polymer and a second binder polymer or binder polymer mixture that comprises ethylene vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol units.

Abstract: An ink-jet printable static cling film including a support, a vinyl film, a curl avoiding polymer layer and a dye-receiving layer, said curl-avoiding polymer layer provides a stiffness (100% modulus) according to ASTM D412-98a of from about 9 to about 34 MPa and a percent (%) elongation according to ASTM D2370-82 of about 250 to 400%.

Abstract: A transfer material for the ink-jet printing process comprising a support and a heat-activatable polymer layer wherein the polymer of the polymer layer is a mixture of nonionic water soluble polyethylene oxide polymers with the general formula H—[—O—CH2—CH2—]nOH, and wherein the degree of polymerization n is in the range of from 1,000 to 200,000.

Abstract: A printable image transfer material comprising a support, an intermediate release layer on said support, and an image receiving layer, wherein said release layer contains a thermoplastic polymer with a surface tension of about 15 to 30 dyn/cm.

Abstract: A printable transfer material for thermal image transfer onto a flat porous surface comprising a base, a release layer and an image receiving layer which contains a hydrophilic binder, a fine-grained thermoplastic polymer and silica.
