  • Dry transfer film with photosensitized color carrying layer and photosensitized pressure sensitive adhesive layer wherein photosensitizer is o-quinone diazide
    Patent number: 4762766
    Abstract: A dry transfer film and a method for preparing transfer characters therefrom in which the transfer film includes a carrier layer, a photosensitized color carrying layer disposed adjacent to the carrier layer and a photosensitized adhesive layer disposed adjacent to the color carrying layer. Both the color carrying and adhesive layers are photosensitive to certain respective wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum so that when exposed to such wavelengths, they become soluble in a respective solvent or solvents. The unexposed portions of these layers remain insoluble in such solvents.
