ABSTRACT:
The process, which includes the concept of first producing a unique type of heat transfer formed of laser toner particles as well as the subsequent application of the heat transfer to a drumstick or decorated item, would include the steps of obtaining a sheet, roll, belt, etc. of suitable carrier material which has been treated or coated with a release agent (i.e. silicone coated paper); loading carrier material into a laser printer which has had the fusing stage removed or otherwise altered to facilitate the formation of laser toner images on the carrier material; using the laser printer to print a laser toner powder form of the desired image onto the carrier material via computer instruction; obtaining item to be printed and loading it into the heat transfer application machine; loading or feeding heat transfer as described into heat transfer application machine; transferring and fusing laser toner powder image to item to be printed with the heat transfer application machine (which applies heat and pressure in a controlled fashion to the unprinted side of the heat transfer such that the laser toner powders are pressed against the item to be printed); and removing printed item and used carrier material from application machine, with the heat transfer itself exhibiting characteristics which distinguish it as unique and particularly well suited to various applications.
