Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9802315A1] A new re-transfer intermediate sheet comprising a supporting substrate having on one side an imageable layer and on the other a backcoat, is provided for thermal transfer printing of an article having a dye-receptive surface, by thermal retransfer. This method of printing comprises the steps of pressing together a dye-donor sheet and the imageable layer of the retransfer intermediate sheet, forming an image in the imageable layer by thermal transfer printing, pressing the thus-formed image-containing layer against the dye-receptive surface of the article, and applying heat to the intermediate sheet to effect retransfer of the image to the dye-receptive layer of the article. To improve protection against the physical conditions experienced in such retransfer process, the backcoat of the new intermediate sheet comprises a polymeric binder and a high loading of protective filler, preferably in amount of 100 % to about 250 % by weight of the binder.
