Abstract: A transfer paper which comprises a transfer paper base and a disperse dye ink printed thereon or imparted thereto. The transfer paper is used in a dry transfer printing method in which the transfer paper is pressed against a synthetic fibrous material with heating to thereby transfer the dye (pattern) from the transfer paper to the fibrous material. The transfer paper is characterized in that the transfer paper base has a releasant layer comprising a synthetic resin soluble in organic solvents and an ink-receiving layer made from a mixture comprising a hydrophilic synthetic resin which softens or melts upon heating, a hydrophilic binder, and various aids, the ink-receiving layer being superposed on the releasant layer. With this transfer paper for dry transfer printing, a highly fine pattern can be printed with excellent reproducibility. Furthermore, the transfer paper enables quick delivery by so-called printing without platemaking. The method of dry transfer plating employs this transfer paper.

Abstract: A transfer paper for use in dry transfer printing in witch a transfer paper is pressed with heating against a natural or synthetic fibrous material to transfer an ink thereto. It is characterized in that it is produced by applying a water-soluble dye ink to a transfer paper having a release agent layer and an ink-receiving layer overlying the layer and the ink-receiving layer comprises a hydrophilic synthetic resin and a hydrophilic adhesive, the hydrophilic adhesive being contained in an amount of 1-50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the hydrophilic synthetic resin. Also provided is a method of dry transfer printing characterized by pressing the transfer paper for dry transfer printing against a natural or synthetic fibrous material with heating to thereby transfer the water-soluble dye ink applied to the transfer paper to the fibrous material and subsequently fixing the ink.
