Problems solved by technology
In some situations, the substrate or item intended to receive the image is not amenable to direct printing operations.
In other situations, the volume of images to be printed makes direct printing operations, such as screen printing, economically unfeasible.
However, dye sublimation has not been demonstrated to work well in all fabric applications.
For example, while dye sublimation can be used on cotton-containing fabrics to initially transfer an image to the fabric, the dyes generally do not adhere well to the cotton fibers.
As a result, the image is durable and degrades very quickly, even upon a single wash cycle.

Abstract
Compositions and methods for treating textile materials so as to facilitate transfer of an image thereto using a dye sublimation transfer system are provided. The compositions are applied to the textile in the form of an aqueous pretreatment composition, which comprises a polymer resin and a crosslinking agent. The resin and crosslinking agent are cured upon the textile material to form an image-receiving area. The sublimation transfer system is then applied to the image-receiving area to form a finished, image-bearing textile product.
Description
RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 082,386, filed Mar. 28, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention is generally directed toward a pretreatment composition for use in connection with the application of sublimation ink transfer to a cotton-containing textile material, such as a T-shirt.Description of the Prior Art[0003]Ink or image transfer systems are useful in applying graphics to a wide variety of items. In certain applications, ink transfers have advantages over other types of image application systems, including direct printing systems. In some situations, the substrate or item intended to receive the image is not amenable to direct printing operations. In other situations, the volume of images to be printed makes direct printing operations, such as screen printing, economically unfeasible. The use of ink trans...
