ABSTRACT:
An application for an improved method of transferring an ink image from one medium to a second medium at ambient temperature is disclosed. A digitized image is selected to be printed on a ink type printer on a computer device. Prior to printing, the image can be manipulated in various way on the computer device. The image is printed onto a non-absorbent medium utilizing the ink type printer. The image is then transferred from the non-absorbent medium to the object on which it is desired to have the image. No excess heat is required for the transfer process. Pressure is applied to the back side of the non-absorbent medium to assist in the image transfer. Prior to transferring the ink image, the surface of the object can be prepared by marring or application of a suitable substrate.
