The present invention relates to image-formation on any selected kind of objective body. The characterizing features reside in such that, based upon fed image data, required images are formed on an image-transferable sheet acting for image carry-over service and in reliance on sublimation image transfer technique, and then, by the use of said sheet with said images thus formed thereon, the formed images thereon are transferringly applied on the objective body. By adopting the above measures, the objective body can be formed sharply and clearly with any desired images, irrespective of kind and configuration thereof, with such superior results of highly improved unity and solidability between the formed images and the objective body to be decorated with.

Image formation on objective bodies

The dye receiving sheet for preparation of a transparency according to the present invention is a sheet to be used in combination with a heat transfer sheet having a dye layer formed thereon and includes (2) a transparent substrate, (3) a transparent receiving layer provided on the transparent substrate for receiving the dye migrating from the heat transfer sheet corresponding to the energy applied from a thermal head and (5) an optically detectable layer provided on at least a part of the heat transferable sheet. By the provision of the optically detectable layer (5), improvement of running performance, operability within a heat-sensitive device as well as image density and sensitivity during printing can be attained, and also a detection mark can be freely added, whereby operability of the dye receiving sheet can be further improved.

Dye receiving sheet for preparation of a transparency

A transfer sheet comprising, in laminated combination, a substrate sheet and, provided thereabove, a coloring layer of desired pattern containing a coloring agent possessing heat transferability and a resist layer of a desired pattern containing a metal compound for resist printing and a binder, the metal compound having the capability of causing the coloring layer to lose its heat transferability, either of the coloring layer and the resist layer being nearer than the other to the substrate sheet. Because of the capability of the metal compound, the resist power is very great, whereby ample resist printing effect can be obtained with only an extremely thin resist layer.
