Abstract: A target device and method of manufacture includes providing a substrate with a printing surface upon which multiple coatings are deposited so as to provide a target image that allows for improved capacity for visually determining impact or penetration locations on the target image. The coatings include a first coating which defines target areas, with uncoated areas forming borderlines between and around the target areas. A transparent laminate of adhesive and a low dyne surface material is applied over the initial coating. Multiple layers of additional coatings having a variety of colorants are placed over the low dyne surface layer of the second coating to form the final target image. A projectile passing through the resulting target device will leave a halo of material around the impact site comprised of the first coating or the visible surface of the printing layer.
