Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of creating personalized, transferable artwork, which comprises the steps of selecting artwork or preselected images, inserting said artwork or preselected images into a clear folder or beneath a clear sheet, said clear folder or clear sheet having no printing or form-work thereon and being capable of being written upon, handwriting onto the clear folder or clear sheet, thereby personalizing said clear folder or clear sheet, copying said art-work or preselected images and said clear folder or clear sheet having handwriting thereon onto a transfer material, and transferring said art-work or preselected images together with said handwriting onto a receptor element, thereby preserving the original artwork for reuse. The invention demonstrates the only way personalization, such as handwriting, can be transferred onto a receptor element, such as a shirt, in correct order using equipment without an electronic reverse imaging capability.
