ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for the transfer printing of a fabric web is provided. The apparatus comprises a supply station for supplying a multi-layered web, the multi-layered web comprising a web of fabric to be printed and at least one substrate having a surface provided with a sublimation ink, the substrate being disposed in intimate frictional contact with the web of fabric so that the ink-carrying surface thereof is in contact with the web surface to be printed. The apparatus further includes a printing station for receiving the multi-layered web from the supply station, for maintaining a slight pressure on the multi-layered web and for applying heat thereto to thereby effect the transfer of ink from the substrate to the web of fabric. A receiving station is also provided for separating the multi-layered web, following the printing thereof, into a printed web of fabric and into at least one substrate, and further for collecting the printed web and substrate following the separation thereof. A drive source is provided for conveying the multi-layered web from the supply station, through the printing station and to the receiving station by applying tension to the substrate greater than that applied to the web of fabric. The apparatus finally includes controllers for maintaining the temperature of the printing station and for controlling the speed at which the multi-layered web is conveyed. The disclosed method and apparatus permit transfer printing onto both sides of a web of fabric simultaneously, thereby overcoming the problems occasioned in the prior art devices and methods in which printing is performed sequentially on each face of the fabric.
