Abstract:

A dry transfer decal includes a flexible carrier layer as a substrate with a high adhesion characteristic urethane layer on the substrate. Ink layers are printed on the urethane layer and a high tack adhesive is screened over the printed ink layers.

Specific formulations for the urethane layer and the various ink layers are disclosed.
