ABSTRACT:
A transfer for decorating surfaces comprises microspheres that are embedded about one-fourth to one-half the microsphere's diameter in a support sheet. The embedded portion of the microspheres have a reflective layer associated therewith to allow a retroreflective article that is stripped from the transfer to retroreflect light. One or more colored layers are printed imagewise one the microspheres. The color layers are prepared from a polyester resin and an isocyanate hardener. If more than one color layer is printed on the microspheres, then a two-component extender or a glue that contains a polyester is disposed on top of all the colored layers. An elastomer that contains a polyester or polyamide is then applied over either a single color layer or a multiple color layers and the extender layer or the polyester containing glue while either is still wet. The elastomer is fused into the single color layer or the extender layer or polyester containing glue and colored layers.
