Patent

CA 2397747

Image transfer media and methods of transferring images are provided. The image transfer media comprise a sheet having a nonporous micro-embossed surface topography comprising cavities on one major surface of the sheet and an ink release coating on the embossed surface, wherein said major surface has a surface energy of about 43 dyne/centimeter or less. A method of transferring an image to a substrate comprises the steps of (a) printing a selected image onto an imaging surface of an image transfer medium of the invention; (b) contacting the imaged micro-embossed surface with the substrate using pressure; and (c) removing the micro-embossed surface of the image transfer medium from the substrate.

Cette invention a trait à des supports de transfert d'image ainsi qu'aux techniques correspondantes. Ces supports sont constitués d'une feuille possédant une face non poreuse micro-embossée pourvue de cavités sur sa surface principale ainsi qu'un enduit de libération d'encre sur la face embossée, cette surface principale possédant une tension superficielle égale ou inférieure à environ 43 dyn/cm. La technique de transfert d'une image sur un substrat consiste, (a), à imprimer une image sélectionnée sur une surface imageante du support de transfert d'image selon l'invention, (b), à mettre en contact la face micro-embossée avec le substrat en exerçant une pression et, (c), à retirer la face micro-embossée du support de transfert d'image du substrat.
