ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a sign having raised colored characters arranged in a predetermined design. A plurality of discrete ferromagnetic characters are positioned on a magnetic sheet to form the required legend of the sign; a substrate sheet is positioned over the magnetic sheet in covering relation to the ferromagnetic characters; the substrate sheet and magnetic sheet, with the characters sandwiched therebetween, are passed between pinching rolls to emboss the substrate sheet with raised areas corresponding to the ferromagnetic characters positioned on the magnetic sheet; a color transfer sheet is positioned over the embossed substrate sheet; the embossed substrate sheet with the color transfer sheet positioned thereover is passed between pinching rolls to transfer color pigmentation from the color transfer sheet to the raised areas on the embossed sheet and "tip" the raised areas; a laminate transparent cover sheet is positioned over the embossed and color tipped substrate sheet; the substrate sheet with laminate transparent cover sheet positioned thereover is passed through pinching rolls to form a laminated embossed color tipped sign; and the laminated embossed color tipped sign is secured to a sheet of relatively rigid base material. The signs produced in accordance with the invention methodology are especially suitable for satisfying handicapped signage requirements and, specifically, are especially suitable for producing signs in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
