Abstract: An image is permanently transferred to a substrate having a cotton component, or other component which is absorbent or porous, from a medium printed with the image by a thermal printer using heat activated ink. A polymer surface preparation material and the ink are transferred by the thermal printer to the medium from a ribbon containing the ink and the surface preparation material, without activating the ink or the surface preparation material. The image is 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.

Abstract: An image is printed on a medium by means of an electrographic device using an ink composition comprising heat activated inks, without substantial activation of the inks during the process of printing the image onto the medium. A molecular sieve added to the ink composition assists activation control. The image is transferred from the medium to the object on which the image is to permanently appear by applying sufficient heat and pressure to the medium to activate and permanently transfer the inks from the medium to an object.

Abstract: A method of printing an ink or meltable ink layer which comprises dyes or pigments or other colorants. The ink or ink melt layer comprises compounds with functional groups capable of reacting with active hydrogen, and compounds with functional groups containing active hydrogen, or functional groups capable of conversion to active hydrogen containing groups. An image is printed (6) onto a substrate (9), at a relatively low temperature, so that the ink is not activated during the process of printing (6) on the medium (9). The image is subsequently transferred or permanently fixed on the final substrate (8) by the application of heat and pressure (10), which activates the ink, and bonds the colorant to the final substrate (8). The reactive compounds may be blocked with blocking agents which are removed by the application of heat or other energy during activation of the ink.

Abstract: A formulation and method of printing an ink or meltable ink layer having reactive dyes or mixtures of reactive dyes and disperse dyes as colorants. T he ink or ink melt layer also includes an alkaline substance, a binder, and optionally, a heat-activated printing additive. Permanently bonded color images are provided by the reaction between the reactive dye and the final substrate, which may be any cellulosic, protein, or polyamide fiber material , or mixtures with polyester. Reaction occurs upon heat activation of the printed ink image.
