Transfer printing method of electronic image and transfer sheet

Abstract

Provided is a transfer sheet whereby a T-shirt or the like can be printed in few steps by means of an electronic image forming device that uses powdered toner, liquid ink, or the like containing a plastic resin. By means of mirror-image printing a picture pattern, which is an electronic image, onto sheet A, aligning sheet A and sheet B, and heat-pressing, there is spread coating over the portion of the picture pattern printed to sheet A. Sheet A has a structure layering a mold release layer, a resin layer, and a porous resin layer in a substrate, and sheet B layers a mold release layer, a resin layer, an adhesive layer, and a colored porous resin layer in a substrate.

1 . A transfer sheet manufactured by mirror-printing a pictorial pattern as an electronic image on transfer paper with use of an electronic image forming apparatus in which liquid ink or powder toner containing a thermoplastic resin is used, and thermally pressing the transfer paper together with an adhesive material sheet, whereby an adhesive material is spread on a portion of the pictorial pattern printed on the transfer paper. 
     
     
         2 . A transfer sheet manufactured by mirror-printing a pictorial pattern as an electronic image on one sheet with use of an electronic image forming apparatus in which liquid ink or powder toner containing a thermoplastic resin is used, and thermally pressing said one sheet and another sheet overlapping each other, whereby an adhesive is spread on a portion of the pictorial pattern printed on said one sheet, wherein said one sheet has a structure in which a release layer, a resin layer, an a porous resin layer laminated on a substrate layer, and wherein said another sheet has a structure in which a release layer, an adhesive layer, and a color porous resin layer laminated on the substrate layer. 
     
     
         3 . The transfer sheet according to  claim 2 , wherein the color porous resin layer is a white porous resin layer. 
     
     
         4 . A transfer printing method for transfer printing a pictorial pattern on a printing workpiece such as a T-shirt comprising:
 mirror-printing the pictorial pattern as an electronic image on one sheet with use of an image forming apparatus in which liquid ink or powder toner containing a thermoplastic resin is used;   overlapping said one sheet and another sheet to align the sheets with each other, and thermally pressing the two sheets so as to allow an adhesive to spread on the pictorial portion printed on said one sheet in order to prepare a transfer sheet having said pictorial pattern printed and said adhesive layer thereon,   placing said transfer sheet on the printing workpiece such as the T-shirt;   heating and pressurizing the transfer sheet onto said printing workpiece from above; and   separating the transfer sheet from said printing workpiece, to form a robust and wash-resistant print on the workpiece.   
     
     
         5 . A transfer printing method for transfer printing a pictorial pattern on a printing workpiece such as a T-shirt comprising:
 mirror-printing the pictorial pattern as an electronic image on one sheet with use of an image forming apparatus in which liquid ink or powder toner containing a thermoplastic resin is used;   overlapping said one sheet and a white adhesive material sheet to align the two sheets with each other, thermally pressing the two sheets, and separating said white adhesive material sheet from said one sheet to form a transfer sheet on which a white adhesive material is spread as in a white glue layer on the pictorial portion of the sheet;   placing the transfer sheet on a printing workpiece such as a fabric of a dark color;   heating and pressurizing the transfer sheet onto said printing workpiece from above; and   separating the transfer sheet from said printing workpiece to form a robust and wash-resistant print having clear pictorial pattern on the dark color printing workpiece.
