  • Publication number: 20200347253
    Abstract: Provision of an article such as a garment made of a textile fiber product, which article bears a desired transferred printed image, while maintaining its essential properties, such as texture, to the maximum possible extent; a manufacturing process for the article; a transfer material for the transfer; and a material for obtaining the transfer material. The transfer material is produced by forming hot melt adhesive layer portion on specified post hoc printing areas in a specified face of a substrate so that it can be removed from the substrate, forming a post hoc printed image layer for showing a desired image on the adhesive layer portion by plateless printing. Heating the adhesive layer portion and post hoc printed image layer of the transfer material and pressing them against the object article for fusion bonding of the adhesive layer portion to the object article, to fix the adhesive layer portion and post hoc printed image layer to the object article upon cooling.
