Abstract
Printing image carriers for surface printing which have a water accepting surface adapted to have ink accepting surface elements transferred to it by the action of heat and pressure. In order to ensure reliable transfer of such layers keeping to precisely delimited outlines the printing image carrier is of a material which is thermally insulating and whose surface accepts water. The result is the avoidance of excessively rapid conduction away of the heat input from a pressing head which would otherwise be likely to interfere with a precisely delimited transfer of an oleophilic layer or to generally prevent the application of such a layer.
