Abstract (en)
A method and apparatus for forming a transfer film having a base film adapted to receive printing thereon specified through a computer printing control system operable to determine the desired printing design responsive to a computer input device such as a keyboard or mouse. The design allows for quick changing of the printed design by modification of the computer input to facilitate frequent variations in the printed design within a high speed system for printing of the transfer film. The design is adapted to remove from the transfer film reponsive to a press which may be a heat press or a pressure press adapted to remove the printed design for placement on a substrate as desired. To facilitate release of the printed design, a release coating may be positioned between the base film and the printed design. Also, a top coating may extend over the surface upon which the printed design is placed to facilitate protection thereof when mounted upon the substrate. Finally, an adhesive may be placed over the printed design to facilitate adhesion between the design and the substrate when pressed into position thereon.
