PROCESS FOR TRANSFERRING IN PARTICULAR COLOUR REPRODUCTIONS TO SMOOTH SUBSTRATES AND TRANSFER LAYER

摘要

A process is disclosed for transferring in particular colour reproductions to smooth substrates by transferring the reproduction by a photocopying process to a transfer layer applied on a carrier. The transfer layer carrying the transferred reproduction (image) is released by a wet process from the carrier, is applied on the substrate, then cured. The transfer layer has a sandwich structure with at least two layers, one (first) outer layer that fixes in place and seals when exposed to heat the pigments transferred by photocopying and a (second) layer arranged beneath the outer layer that forms a curing adhesive layer which cross-links with the substrate, fixing in place the transfer layer on the substrate.
