  • Patent number: 6951671
    Abstract: This patent describes an ink jet printable heat transfer material with cold release properties. The invention consists of multiple layers of coatings applied to a suitable substrate, typically paper. The first optional layer coating consists typically of a pigmented coating bound together with a synthetic or natural binder and is applied in sufficient quantity to level and densify the surface of a given substrate. The second coating is applied over the first and consists of a silicone coating with a controlled surface energy. The surface energy must be such that the subsequent aqueous coatings can be applied over top with good wetting and adhesion, but low enough for an easy removal from the heat transfer after cooling. A third or wash layer is applied over the silicone release layer. This layer must easily wet and adhere to the silicone release layer so the coating does not come off during subsequent coating passes and during handling by the user.

  • Publication number: 20020182376
    Abstract: The described invention is an unique universal ink jet media. The invention incorporates a unique barrier layer based upon UV or EB curable chemistry which replaces common polyethylene extruded bases. The invention also incorporates multiple ink receptive layers. The first layer is based upon gelatin and/or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) chemistries and gives the invention excellent ink drytime. Poor drytime is a common problem which leads to smudging and print defects, especially as ink jet printer speeds increase as technology improves. The high ink absorbency of the invention also makes this media well suited for wide format ink jet printers. The next ink receptive layer(s) are based upon pigmented, cellulose chemistry which reduces the tack of the sheet and gives the sheet good waterfastness. This is important for the end use in that the sheet may be frequently handled and exposed to dampness.
