Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric print medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.

A thermal transfer and process for producing it that provides a fully-digital printed heat transfer capable of little to no process changeover between different graphics. Specifically, the method comprises printing a digital image onto a treated adhesive substrate, applying the image side to a carrier substrate, then digitally cutting and removing substrate not containing graphic elements through a combination of kiss-and-through cutting to produce a high stretch, multi-color photographic quality print transfers for the apparel and soft goods industry.

A method of preparing a washable durable image on a polyester film from water-based inks using an ink-jet printer, wherein the method comprises providing a substrate having a coating comprising approximately 4% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol as a binder, approximately 30% by weight of Polyethylene powder as an ink absorbing pigment. An image is printed on the coated substrate and is then thermally fused to the coated substrate.
