Abstract

See full text

Methods are generally provided of transferring an image to a substrate using a colorless fusible polymer material printed onto a printable surface of a printable transfer sheet to form an imaged area. The printable transfer sheet can be positioned adjacent to a coating transfer sheet such that the imaged area is adjacent to a meltable coating layer of the coating transfer sheet. The meltable coating layer and the imaged area can then be fused together, and the sheets separated to form an intermediate coated imaged sheet, such that the imaged area is coated with the meltable coating layer. The intermediate coated imaged sheet can be positioned adjacent to the substrate such that the imaged area coated with the meltable coating layer is adjacent to substrate, and heat and pressure can be applied. The intermediate coated imaged sheet can be separated from the substrate to leave the imaged area on the substrate.
