Abstract: A method for forming a hydraulic transfer film includes: (a) forming a water-soluble sacrificial layer on a water-soluble substrate; (b) forming a first holographic pattern on the water-soluble sacrificial layer; (c) forming a pattern forming layer on the water-soluble sacrificial layer such that the pattern forming layer is formed with a second holographic pattern on a surface that contacts the first holographic pattern and being complementary to the first holographic pattern, the pattern forming layer having a water-soluble region and an oil-soluble region; (d) forming an oil-soluble base layer on the pattern forming layer; and (e) forming an activating layer that is on the oil-soluble base layer and that includes a curable activating agent.

Abstract: A method for forming a hydraulic transfer film includes: (a) forming a pattern layer on a water-soluble substrate by gravure printing using a laser-engraved cylinder, the pattern layer including at least two oil-soluble regions that are separated from each other by a spacing, the water-soluble substrate being exposed from the spacing; (b) forming an oil-soluble base layer on the water-soluble substrate to cover the pattern layer and to fill the spacing between the oil-soluble regions; and (c) forming a curable activating layer on the oil-soluble base layer to obtain the hydraulic transfer film, the activating layer including a curable activating agent that partially permeates into and is intermingled with the oil-soluble base layer and the pattern layer.
