Transfert d’images. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’un procédé d’impression proprement dit, mais d’un transfert rapide d’images qui ont été réalisées préalablement par héliogravure et qui sont déposées par thermocollage sur une bande porteuse(papier ou plastique). Pour transférer ces images sur l'objet à décorer, on déroule alors la bande porteuse entre un cylindre chauffé et l'objet. L'image portée se décolle de son support et, grâce à la légère pression exercée par le cylindre, vient s’appliquer sur l'objet dont la surface a été préparée à cet effet. Cette technique est surtout utilisée pour décorer des corps creux; [...] 1, record 6, French, - transfert%20d%26rsquo%3Bimages
