The process of the invention enables rapid manufacture of the novel multi-color decal by offset lithograph printing of a multi-color design through the combination of the steps of forming an extremely thin, water resistant film on a water soluble slip layer carried by decal paper, offset printing the design on that film and thereafter depositing on the printed design a pressure sensitive adhesive in a liquid vehicle which is a non-solvent for the film.Field of SearchComprising discontinuous or differential impregnation or bondIncluding coloring matter TRANSFER OR DECALCOMANIA With release or antistick coating Adhesive outermost layer With outer strippable or release layer Water activated Intermediate layer contains particulate material (e.g., pigment, etc.) Intermediate layer is discontinuous or differential | |
