  • Image-receptive heat transfer paper
    Patent number: 5271990
    Abstract: An image-receptive heat transfer paper which includes: (a) a flexible cellulosic nonwoven web base sheet having top and bottom surfaces; and (b) an image-receptive melt-transfer film layer overlaying the top surface of the base sheet, which image-receptive melt-transfer film layer is composed of a thermoplastic polymer which melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius. Alternatively, the image-receptive melt-transfer film layer is replaced with a melt-transfer film layer overlaying the top surface of the nonwoven web and composed of a first thermoplastic polymer which melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius, and an image-receptive film layer overlaying the melt-transfer film layer and composed of a second thermoplastic polymer which melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius.

  • Image-receptive heat transfer paper
    Patent number: 5242739
    Abstract: An image-receptive heat transfer paper which includes: (a) a flexible cellulosic nonwoven web base sheet having top and bottom surfaces; and (b) an image-receptive melt-transfer film layer overlaying the top surface of the base sheet, which film layer is composed of from about 15 to about 80 percent by weight of a film-forming binder and from about 85 to about 20 percent by weight of a powdered thermoplastic polymer, wherein each of the film-forming binder and the powdered thermoplastic polymer melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius and the powdered thermoplastic polymer consists of particles which are from about 2 to about 50 micrometers in diameter.
