ABSTRACT:
A process for transfer printing sheet metal which is especially suited for manufacture into three-dimensional articles such as appliance panels and one-piece pictures and frames. A decorative image is transfer printed in a clear top coat on the sheet metal by pressing transfer paper against the clear coat using a printing press which includes an upper heated platen having a polished undersurface with a polymer facing sheet covering the polished undersurface. The transfer paper has an adhesive on its surface facing the polymer sheet on the platen so the transfer paper will temporarily adhere to the platen when the printing press is opened for removal of the decorated sheet metal.
