Abstract
A heat transfer material kit is disclosed that includes a first heat transfer material that includes a printable, peelable transfer film, and a second, different heat transfer material that includes an overlay transfer film. A method of using the kit is disclosed that includes the steps of a) imaging the printable, peelable transfer film of the first heat transfer material, b) separating the imaged printable, peelable transfer film from the first heat transfer material, c) positioning the second heat transfer material and the imaged printable, peelable transfer film adjacent a substrate, and d) transferring the imaged printable, peelable transfer film and the overlay transfer film to the substrate. Alternate methods of using the kit are also disclosed. Images transferred using the overlay transfer film provide good image appearance and durability.
