Abstract
Abstract A transfer ink suitable for dispersion from a felt nib pen upon a paper substrate for subsequent transfer by heat to fabrics formed at least partially from synthetic fibers. The ink comprises of a sublimation dye, organic solvent or water, binders and an optional non-ionic surfactant. It is particularly adapted for household, as distinguished from commercial use.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
The method of forming an ink design on a textile surface comprising the steps of: providing a paper substrate; providing a transfer ink consisting essentially by weight of 5 to 10% of an organic dye selected from the group consisting of aniline and azo dye; 50 to 85% of a primary solvent selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether and alcohols; 5 to 34% of a secondary solvent having a boiling point substantially higher than that of said primary solvent selected from the group consisting of higher boiling point ketones, alcohols, glycols and aromatic solvents; 1 to 5% of a binder selected from the group consisting of alcohol soluble rosins, esters, ethyl cellulose, natural gums and shellac; using a felt nib dispenser, applying said ink to a surface of said substrate; allowing said ink to dry; placing said surface of said substrate in juxtaposition to said first mentioned textile surface, and applying heat to transfer at least a portion of said ink to said first mentioned surface.

Claim 3
Independent Claim
126 words
The method of forming an ink design on a textile surface comprising the steps of: providing a paper substrate; providing a transfer ink consisting essentially by weight of approximately 10% of an organic crude or dispersed dye selected from the group consisting of aniline and azo dyes; approximately 60% of a primary solvent consisting of water; and approximately 30% of a secondary solvent selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether and ethyl alcohol; using a felt nib dispenser, applying said ink to a surface of said substrate; allowing said ink to dry; placing said surface of said substrate in juxtaposition to said first mentioned surface; and using heat to transfer at least a portion of said ink to said first mentioned textile surface.
