A heat transfer paper configured to reduce the amount of stray toner on a heat transfer material, especially when the image is formed via a laser printer or laser copier, is generally disclosed. The heat transfer material includes an image-receptive coating overlying a splittable layer and a base sheet. The image-receptive coating includes thermoplastic polyolefin wax microparticles, a thermoplastic binder, and a humectant. The thermoplastic polyolefin wax microparticles have an average particle size of from about 30 microns to about 50 microns and melt at temperatures between about 130 C. and about 200 C.

Method of making a heat transfer materials are generally provided, along with the materials and the methods of using the materials. A splittable layer can be formed to overlie a base sheet, and an image-receptive coating can be formed to overlie the splittable layer. The image-receptive coating can include thermoplastic microparticles, a thermoplastic binder, and a humectant. The thermoplastic microparticles can be styrene particles having an average particle size of from about 5 microns to about 80 microns and melt at temperatures between about 90 C. and about 115 C. A second thermoplastic microparticle can also be included in the image-receptive coating. Alternatively, a combination of thermoplastic polyester microparticles and thermoplastic polyamide microparticles can be included in the image-receptive coating. The heat transfer material can then be dried. The humectant is configured to draw moisture back into the heat transfer sheet after drying.

Printable substrates including a base sheet, a tie coating on a first surface of the base sheet, and a printable coating on the tie coating are generally provided. The tie coating can generally include a first crosslinked material formed from a film-forming binder, a first crosslinkable polymeric binder, a first crosslinking agent, and a first crosslinking catalyst. The printable coating can generally include a plurality of inorganic microparticies and a second crosslinked material formed from a second crosslinkable polymeric binder, a second crosslinking agent, and a second crosslinking catalyst. Methods of forming an image on such printable substrates are also generally provided, along with methods for forming such printable substrates.

Methods of transferring an image to a substrate are generally provided. A heat transfer material can be partially cut to define a shape with cuts made into the heat transfer material (i.e., into its thickness). The heat transfer material includes a transferable portion overlying a release layer overlying a base sheet such that the cuts are made into the heat transfer material through the transferable portion while leaving the release layer and base sheet uncut. The transferable portion of the heat transfer material can be removed from the base sheet in an area surrounding the shape. Then, the heat transfer material can be positioned adjacent the substrate such that the transferable portion defined by the shape contacts the substrate. Heat and pressure can be applied to the heat transfer material. Thereafter, the base sheet can be removed.

Methods are generally provided of transferring an image to a substrate using a colorless fusible polymer material printed onto a printable surface of a printable transfer sheet to form an imaged area. The printable transfer sheet can be positioned adjacent to a coating transfer sheet such that the imaged area is adjacent to a meltable coating layer of the coating transfer sheet. The meltable coating layer and the imaged area can then be fused together, and the sheets separated to form an intermediate coated imaged sheet, such that the imaged area is coated with the meltable coating layer. The intermediate coated imaged sheet can be positioned adjacent to the substrate such that the imaged area coated with the meltable coating layer is adjacent to substrate, and heat and pressure can be applied. The intermediate coated imaged sheet can be separated from the substrate to leave the imaged area on the substrate.

Methods and kits for treating a fibrous substrate prior to forming an image thereon are provided. The method can include positioning a treatment sheet adjacent to the fibrous substrate, transferring a salt (e.g., calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, or a mixture thereof) from the treatment sheet to the fibrous substrate using a wetting solution (e.g., an aqueous solution, such as water) to carry the salt from the treatment sheet into the fibrous substrate, and drying the fibrous substrate such that the salt remains in the substrate. For example, the transfer of the salt from the treatment sheet into the fibrous substrate can be accomplished via pressing the backside of the treatment sheet such that the wetting solution flows from the treatment sheet into the fibrous substrate while carrying the salt.
