  • Method of providing a tick pattern to simulated wood transfer films
    Patent number: 5779840
    Abstract: A heat-transferable film and a method for providing a tick pattern on a film-decorated substrate is provided. The heat-transferable film comprises (1) a transfer layer in facing engagement with a substrate having a first gloss level, at least one color, and a heat-activatable adhesive layer; (2) a plurality of individual spaced-apart markings, the markings having a color different from the color or colors within the transfer layer and a second gloss level different from the first gloss level, the markings adhered to the top of the transfer layer; and (3) a carrier sheet adhered to the top of the individual spaced-apart markings. Heat and pressure are applied to the top of the carrier sheet such that the heat-activatable adhesive affixes the heat-transferable film to the substrate.
