An image transfer assembly (12) receives an image printed from an ink jet printer. The assembly (12) provides a device to transfer the printed image onto an image-receiving surface. The assembly (12) has a flexible substrate (16) on one side, and an upper surface (20) on the other side that is substantially permeable to ink jet printer ink and that is non-tacky prior to printing. The assembly (12) has an adhesive or polymer layer (14) in between the upper surface (20) and the flexible substrate (16). After printing with a water-based ink jet printer ink, the user may apply the assembly (12) to a substrate, such as a window or other surface, and remove the flexible substrate (16), thereby leaving the layer (14) that bears the image on the substrate. In one of several alternative embodiments, the layer (14) is divided into discrete zones that are separated from one another along boundaries.

Module de transfert d'image (12) recevant une image imprimée d'une imprimante à jet d'encre. Le module (12) comporte une système de tranfert de l'image imprimée sur une surface de réception. Ce module (12) comporte un substrat souple (16) d'un côté, et une face supérieure (20) de l'autre côté qui est essentiellement perméable à l'encre de l'imprimante et qui n'est pas collante avant l'impression. Le module (12) comprend une couche adhésive ou polymère (14) entre la face supérieure (20) et le substrat souple (16). Après impression par une encre d'imprimante à jet d'encre à base d'eau, l'utilisateur peut appliquer le module (12) sur un substrat, telle qu'une vitre ou tout autre surface, puis enlever le substrat souple (16) en ne laissant que la couche (14) qui porte l'image sur le substrat. Dans l'un des multiples modes de réalisation possible, la couche (14) est divisée en zones distinctes, séparées les unes des autres selon certaines limites.
