Abstract
A web suitable for the elevated temperature transfer of graphics to fabric comprises a thermoplastic film release sheet having upper and lower surfaces, the lower surface defining the bottom surface of the web. A layer of non-carboxylated, pigmented PVC is coated on and substantially covers the upper surface of the release sheet. The pigmented PVC includes a heat activated blowing agent. A thermoplastic adhesive layer defines the top surface of the web. The web may be used to provide both conventional as well as hot split graphics to fabric.
