Abstract: A method of printing textile and other surfaces and particularly relates to a transfer sheet comprising a flexible carrier sheet having a design in a drying ink surface which design is not transferable to a receptor material by the application of heat alone and a polymer layer applied over the design so that the application of heat to the transfer sheet causes the polymer layer to adhere to the receptor material so that the carrier sheet can be removed leaving the ink design transferred to the polymer which itself is totally transferred to the receptor material. The invention also includes a method of forming a transfer and a method of decorating a material, particularly a textile material, using the transfers and methods of the invention.

Abstract: A laminated assembly comprising a base sheet and a screen mesh laminated thereto in a tensioned state relative to the base sheet is provided. A screen printing screen is made therefrom by fixing the assembly on a screen printing frame and removing the base sheet from the assembly whereby to leave the screen mesh tensioned on the frame. By suitable choice of tension in the assembly screens having uniform and controlled mesh tension values may be produced quickly without previous cumbersome procedures.

Abstract: A dry transfer sheet of the kind described comprising a carrier sheet, at least one design carried by said carrier sheet and releasably bonded thereto, and a layer of shrinkable pressure sensitive adhesive covering said design and overlapping said carrier sheet to stress the edges of the design to cause at least a reduction of bonding between the edges of the design and the carrier sheet.
