ABSTRACT:
A portable material having first and second surfaces, which printable material includes a first layer defining the first surface and a second layer defining the second surface. The second layer includes particles of a thermoplastic polymer having largest dimensions of less than about 50 micrometers and from about 10 to about 50 weight percent of a film-forming binder, based on the weight of the thermoplastic polymer. When the second layer has a melting point of from about 65 to about 180 degrees Celsius, the printable material is suitable for use as a heat transfer material. Desirably, the second layer also contains from about 2 to about 20 weight percent of a cationic polymer, based on the weight of the thermoplastic polymer. Other components which can be contained in the second layer include from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a humectant; from about 0.2 to about 10 weight percent of an ink viscosity modifier; from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of a weak acid; and from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent of a surfactant, all based on the weight of the thermoplastic polymer. If desired, one or two additional layers of heat-softenable polymeric materials can be included between the first layer and the second layer to aid in the heat transfer of an image-bearing second layer to a fabric.
