  • Transfer film
    Patent number: 6346313
    Abstract: A transfer film (14) for transferring an ink comprising at least one liquid component. The film comprises a heat-activatable adhesive and an ink absorber, and may be mounted on a carrier film (12). The heat-activatable adhesive is in the form of a porous matrix bound together by the ink absorber. When an image is printed on the film, the film will absorb ink from the printer without spreading and blurring of the image. The surface of the film is then placed on the article (20) on which the image is to be transferred and heat applied. The activated adhesive then binds the film (14) to the article (20).
