Abstract: A method and photo-sensitive ink solution used for producing a tone-accurate color process proof or color transfer is disclosed. The method includes multiple applications of sequential layers of extender coat powder and photo-sensitive ink solution coats. These layers are individually exposed to actinic light through a design bearing film, and that material not underlying the exposed ink coat is removed by means of a light water spray before a new series of sequential layers are applied.

Abstract: A method of producing a decorative foil transfer design which eliminates the need for heat and pressure in the application of decorative foil to a surface. The method includes applying a foil assembly sheet to a substrate, applying lacquer and extender materials and a photo-sensitive emulsion over the foil assembly, exposing the photo-sensitive emulsion to a light through a design-bearing film, removing all material which does not underlie the hardened photo-sensitive emulsion, applying an adhesive, and transferring the foil design to the surface to be decorated.

Abstract: A film matrix is reproduced and altered by mounting a replacing image on a light transparent sheet over the image to be replaced on the film matrix. The image to be replaced is obliterated. The mounted replacing image and the film matrix are then double exposed on another piece of film to produce another film matrix with the replacing image appropriately inserted.

Abstract: A perforated film matrix is attached to a cylindrical drum by means of clips having an upwardly raised flange along one edge. The film matrix is initially held on the drum by two pairs of protruding members extending through said perforations. The clips are then vertically inserted along opposite borders of the film matrix between each pair of protruding members.
