PURPOSE:To simplify a complicate image-forming process comprising an ink-jet printing and a specific thermal transfer dyeing of a cloth and enable quick delivery of the printed cloth by carrying out the latter half of the above process in completely dry state using a sheet-formed dye absorbent. CONSTITUTION:A letter, image or identification mark is temporarily formed on a polyester fiber cloth such as woven, knit or nonwoven fabric by an ink-jet process or a special thermal transfer method using an ink composed mainly of a disperse dye, etc., having a sublimation temperature of 180-300 deg.C (preferably 200-250 deg.C) and high sublimation fastness. A sheet-formed dye-absorbent composed of a polyester or polyolefin film is placed on the above cloth and the laminate is heat-treated to effect the dyeing of the cloth-constituting fiber with the dye. The latter half process comprising the heat-treatment and the removal of excess dye in the conventional ink-jet dyeing and thermal transfer dyeing can be performed in dry state in one step. |
