Abstract
A curable sublimation marking material including at least one curable component and at least one sublimation colorant. Also disclosed is a transfer printing method including applying a curable sublimation marking material in a desired pattern onto a transfer substrate to form an image on the transfer substrate at a first temperature which is below the sublimation temperature of the sublimation colorant; wherein the curable sublimation marking material comprises at least one curable component and at least one sublimation colorant; curing the image on the transfer substrate; and optionally, bringing the transfer substrate into contact with a final image-receiving substrate, optionally applying pressure, and heating to a second temperature which is sufficient to cause the sublimation colorant to sublime and form a permanent image on the final image-receiving substrate.
