    摘要: An image is formed on a transfer medium comprising a hydrophilic tackifier. Any portion of the image that is dimensionally insufficient to permanently adhere the image to the receiver substrate is determined, and a colorless liquid ink comprising water is applied to cover and surround the portion of the image that is dimensionally insufficient to permanently adhere the image to the receiver substrate. When heat is applied to the image to transfer the image layer to a receiver substrate, water in the image layer swells the image layer and the hydrophilic tackifier becomes sufficiently tacky to permanently adhere the image to the receiver substrate.
