IMAGE-RECEPTIVE HEAT TRANSFER PAPER

摘要

An image-receptive heat transfer paper which includes: (a) a flexible cellulosic nonwoven web base sheet having top and bottom surfaces; and (b) an image-receptive melt-transfer film layer overlaying the top surface of the base sheet, which image-receptive melt-transfer film layer is composed of a thermoplastic polymer which melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius. Alternatively, the image- receptive melt-transfer film layer is replaced with a melt- transfer film layer overlaying the top surface of the nonwoven web and composed of a first thermoplastic polymer which melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius, and an image-receptive film layer overlaying the melt-transfer film layer and composed of a second thermoplastic polymer which melts in the range of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius. The exposed surface of the image-receiving film layer has a smoothness value, independent of the smoothness of the base sheet, of at least about 10 cc/minute as measured by a Sheffield Smoothness Tester.
