ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for thermally transferring an image from a thin flexible backing containing the image onto an outer cylindrical surface of a cylindrical resilient material. The device comprises a rotatable mount for rotatably holding the cylindrical resilient material. A roller assembly comprising a plurality of rotatable rollers linearly moves the thin flexible backing in accordance with the rotation of the rollers. A positioning device positions the thin flexible backing into contact with the cylindrical resilient material. A heater device applies heat to the thin flexible backing. A motive device moves the thin flexible backing linearly on the roller assembly and rotates the cylindrical resilient material about the axis of the rotatable mount, thereby transferring the image from the thin flexible backing to the outer cylindrical surface of the cylindrical resilient material.
