  • Patent number: 12291055
    Abstract: Transfer assemblies, sheets, and methods for manufacturing the same, are provided for transferring images to articles, such as textiles, fabric or the like. A transfer sheet comprises a support layer, such as a backing paper, and an image transfer layer that includes a binder and an ink receptor. The image transfer layer further includes a release layer between the support layer and the image transfer layer. The release layer comprises a crosslinking agent and is configured so that the image transfer layer can be detached from the backing paper prior to the transfer of the image to the substrate or article. This allows the use of thin parchment paper as the protective cover for the image layer during the transfer process instead of the backing paper, which accelerates and enhances the transfer of heat to the image transfer layer and the article resulting in deeper penetration of the ink.
