  • Patent number: 8360239
    Abstract: The present invention is a personal water transfer imaging process kit for application of an image to an object. A pre-printed film having an image thereon is suspended within a vat of water to hydrate the ink after which it is activated. The object is submerged into the vat containing the hydrated and activated ink to generate pressure against the object and cause transfer the ink image onto the object. Primer, base coat, top coat, activator, film and supporting supplies are all supplied within the self-contained kit. The primer coating material, base coating material, activator material and top coat material are the form of a hand held aerosol propellant or pump actuator devices. The kit components are efficiently packaged within a cardboard tube provided with protective clear outer skin. The sensitive image transfer film and supporting components are thereby protected from moisture, dirt and damage while in the tube.
