An image is permanently transferred to a substrate having a cotton component, or an absorbent component, from a medium printed with the image. When using a thermal printer and heat activated ink, a polymer surface preparation material and the ink are transferred by the thermal printer to the medium fr om a ribbon, without activating the ink or the surface preparation material durin g this first transfer. When using a computer driven printer, a polymer surface preparatio n material is printed by the computer onto the medium and over the image witho ut printing the material beyond the margins of the image. When using color thermal ink jet printers, heat sensitive inks containing a polymeric surface preparation may be used as an ink formulation. The image is then transferred from the medium to the substrate by applying sufficient heat and pressure to the medium to activate and transfer the ink and the surface preparation material, with the surface preparation material bonding the ink to the substrate. |
