Abstract

It is described an ink-jet transfer system or transfer print respectively, having a high degree of washproofness and unfadeability as well as good ecological properties, as well as a process for its preparation and its use for a printing process by means of the ink-jet transfer system according to the invention.The inventive ink-jet transfer system comprises a carrier material, a hot-melt layer being applied onto said carrier material and at least one ink-receiving layer whereby the at least one ink-receiving layer comprises a mixture of a high porous pigment and of a binder, whereby the molecules of the pigment and optionally of the binder and optionally of the hot-melt are capable to form chemical bonds with the ink-dyestuff molecules.
