Title: Method for the heat-transfer printing of a textile material

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the heat-transfer printing of a longitudinal textile material. The method consists of bringing into contact one side of the textile material and one side of a longitudinal inert carrier for dyes which can be sublimed, defining a motif thereon and of causing the sublimation of the dyes by heating and their transfer from the carrier to the textile material. It is characterized in that the carrier is formed by transversely juxtaposing a plurality of longitudinal belts with a mutual lateral overlap of two adjacent belts transversely staggering the motifs comprised by these two belts by a value corresponding to half the sum of the shrinkage respectively undergone by both the belts over their width owing to said heating, in order that the motifs comprised by these two belts overlap exactly under the heating conditions.
