Abstract

A retransfer printing method and system where the peel-off of the print receptive material from the retransfer film is improved. The peeling-off or removal of the print receptive material from the retransfer film is improved by adhering the peel-off adhesive material to the print receptive material along a non-straight, non-linear leading edge and/or a non-straight, non-linear trailing edge along which the print receptive material is to be removed from the retransfer film. The use of the non-straight, non-linear leading edge and/or trailing edge helps to manage mechanical and thermal stresses and eliminates tears that may occur in the ribbon when the print receptive material is peeled from the retransfer film by the ribbon.
