Abstract
A method of preparing a dry transfer sheet for transferring indicia such as characters and designs to a receiving surface of a receiving member. The transfer sheet is prepared by thermal printing of the desired indicia on a thermal printer, by using a heat-sensitive ink ribbon which has an ink layer consisting of a thermally fusible ink composition. The printer has a print head for heating selected portions of the ink layer. The ink ribbon and the carrier sheet are set on the printer, such that the ink ribbon is interposed between the print head and the carrier sheet. Printing data representative of the desired indicia are entered into the printer, and the print head is activated according to the entered printing data, in order to heat local portions of the ink layer which correspond to the desired indicia, and thereby transfer the ink composition from the heated local portions to an image-receiving surface of the carrier sheet, whereby the desired indicia are printed on the image-receiving surface with the transferred ink composition.
