Abstract
A method and transfer sheet for transferring creative and personalized designs onto a tee shirt or similar fabric is described. The design can be created manually, electronically or a combination of both using personal computers, video cameras or electronic photocopiers. The transfer sheet includes a polymer-based iron-on transfer sheet supplied with an additional overcoating of resin mixed with abrasive particles. When cured, the abrasive particles in combination with the resin serve to enhance the receptivity of the transfer sheet to various inks and wax based crayons used in the creation and coloring of the designs.
