Abstract
A transfer sheet capable of applying a colored pattern to a final support material through the application of heat and pressure. The transfer sheet includes a carrier sheet having a colored pattern printed on a surface thereof. A digitally controlled color printer is used to print a colored pattern on the surface of the carrier sheet. A layer of white colored material is printed over at least the color pattern with a digitally controlled color printer. A layer of glue is deposited over the layer of white colored material. The layer of glue may also be printed over the white colored material by the digitally controlled color printer, or by a separate device, if required.
