Abstract
Abstract A predetermined design for heat transfer to a fabric material is produced in color on a release paper by offset printing. To intensify or bring out the colors in the offset printed design the separate color portions thereof are outlined or accentuated by a color of a darker or deeper shade by silk screen printing the outlines with a black colored plastisol material. This design, complete with the bordered or outlined silk screened portions, and corresponding to the color design as it will appear on the fabric material, is then coated or covered with a thin film of a white colored plastisol material having an affinity for both the color design and a fabric material. When subjected to pressure and heat the design is transferred from the release paper to a fabric material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A method for printing a color design on a heat release paper for heat transfer from the paper to a fabric material comprising the steps of: (a) offset printing a design in color on the release paper, (b) silk screening on said offset printed design a dark colored plastisol material to outline portions of the design to intensify the color appearance of such portions, (c) heat drying the design a first time at a temperature of about 350° Fahrenheit for a time period of not more than about ten seconds, (d) applying to the design an adhesive film having design and fabric material adhering characteristics, (e) heat drying the design a second time at a temperature of about 350° Fahrenheit for a time period of not more than about 10 seconds.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
131 words
A method for printing a color design on a heat release paper for heat transfer from the paper to a fabric material comprising the steps of: (a) offset printing a design in color on the release paper, (b) silk screening on said offset printed design a dark colored plastisol material to outline portions of the design to intensify the color appearance of such portions, (c) heat drying the design a first time at a temperature of about 350° Fahrenheit for a time period of not more than about ten seconds, (d) applying to the design an adhesive film having design and fabric material adhering characteristics, (e) heat drying the design a second time at a temperature of about 350° Fahrenheit for a time period of not more than about 10 seconds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein: (a) the adhesive film is a white colored plastisol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein: (a) the dark colored plastisol bleeds through the offset printed design.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
69 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of: (a) pressing the adhesive film against the fabric material with a pressure of not more than about 50 pounds per square inch and applying heat at a temperature of about 350° Fahrenheit to the release paper to release the printed design from the release paper to release the printed designed from the release paper for adherence to the fabric material.
