Abstract: A hydraulic transfer film includes: a water-soluble substrate, a pattern-forming layer formed on the water-soluble substrate and having a water-soluble region and an oil-soluble region, an oil-soluble pattern layer formed on the pattern-forming layer, an oil-soluble base layer formed on the oil-soluble pattern layer, and an activating layer including a curable activating agent that permeates into the oil-soluble region, the oil-soluble pattern layer, and the oil-soluble base layer such that the oil-soluble region, the oil-soluble pattern layer, and the oil-soluble base layer are partly soluble in the curable activating agent. A method of forming the hydraulic transfer film and a pattern film are also disclosed.
