ABSTRACT:
Rigid signs are prepared by a facile method of fixing an image to a rigid substrate coated with a thermally tackifiable coating. The image is readily produced through the use of a computer graphics program, and the image is printed onto a transfer film using a conventional computer printer. The image-bearing surface of the transfer film is then joined in pressing contact with the thermoplastic coating which has been warmed to a softened or tacky state. Upon cooling the thermoplastic coating to a hard, durable state, the transfer film is removed leaving the image securedly affixed to the rigid substrate.
