A transfer laminate (35), comprising a carrier film having an adhering decorative element having a solid, pigmented, partially cured decorative layer, is laminated on the decoration side onto a substrate (40) having a temperature between 50 and 70° C. on the decoration side, on which substrate a coating that can be painted over has been applied in the course of a traditional process. The paint layer of the coating that was applied last is still moist and tacky after the intermediate drying thereof. The transfer laminate (35) is laminated onto the still moist and tacky paint layer on the substrate (40), and at least the region of the transfer laminate (35) containing the decorative element is pressed onto the substrate coating over the entire area at a pressure of 0.2 to 5.0 bar for 40 to 240 seconds. Then the carrier film is quickly cooled to a temperature less than 20° C. and then removed from the substrate coating, wherein the decorative element remains on the substrate coating. The device for transfer lamination forms an applicator (10), which comprises: two flexible membranes (20, 22), which are both clamped pressure-tight on a common frame (12) along the perimeter of the membranes in such a way that an intermediate space is created therebetween, in which a flexible warm—or hot-water layer (27) can be enclosed; a chamber (30), which can be filled with compressed air, wherein overall such an arrangement is created that a gradual introduction of compressed air into the chamber (30) moves the two flexible membranes (20, 22) and the flexible warm—or hot-water layer (27) jointly in the manner of a balloon onto the substrate surface (42) to be coated in order to apply the transfer laminate (35) to and press the transfer laminate onto said substrate surface (42) without bubbles.

A transfer article with a thickness of less than 3 micrometers includes a first acrylate layer that is releasable from a metal or doped semiconductor release layer at a release value of from 2 to 50 grams/inch. The article includes a functional layer overlaying the first acrylate layer. The functional layer includes at least one microfractured inorganic layer about 3 nanometers to about 200 nanometers thick, which has a plurality of toolmarks interspersed with cracks.

A transfer sheet has a structure in which a polyester layer as a backing layer, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) layer, and a transfer layer, are stacked in this order, where the polyvinyl alcohol layer contains a diol compound and/or triol compound whose adjacent hydroxyl groups are positioned at δ or farther positions with respect to each other, and which satisfies the condition in (i): (i) a T-peel strength at a peel rate of 100 mm/min between the polyester layer and the polyvinyl alcohol layer before a transfer layer is formed but after a humidity has been adjusted in an environment of 23° C., 50% RH, is 30 mN/20 mm or greater. The transfer sheet is intended to offer a single-sheet solution for achieving both normal temperature transfer and thermal transfer when transferring a material having high adhesion to polyester or other material constituting the backing.

The decorative molded article 10 is provided with a protective layer 2 having unevenness on a resin molded article 1, wherein in the surface of the protective layer 2, the arithmetic average roughness (Ra.sub.x1) according to JIS B0601:1994 at a cutoff value of 0.8 mm, the arithmetic average roughness (Ra.sub.y1) according to JIS B0601:1994 at a cutoff value of 0.08 mm, and the ten-point average roughness (Rz.sub.x1) according to JIS B0601:1994 at a cutoff value of 0.8 mm satisfy the following requirements (1) to (3): 0.30≤(Ra.sub.x1−Ra.sub.y1)/Ra.sub.y1≤0.85 (1), Rz.sub.x1/Ra.sub.x1≤15.0 (2), Ra.sub.x1≥0.14 μm (3).

In an aspect, there is provided a method of foil printing that may comprise providing a substrate having a surface comprising a first area and a second area, wherein the first area has printed thereon a first electrostatic ink composition comprising a first thermoplastic resin and substantially lacking a pigment and the second area has printed thereon a second electrostatic ink composition comprising a second thermoplastic resin and a pigment; applying a liquid solvent composition to the first electrostatic ink composition on the first area and the second electrostatic ink composition on the second area, to swell the first and second thermoplastic resins; and contacting a foiling material with the first electrostatic ink composition on the first area, such that the foiling material selectively adheres to the first area on the surface of the substrate. In another aspect, an electrostatic and foil printing system for performing the method is provided.

Provided is a decorative sheet which can impart, to molded resin articles, excellent design attractiveness and an excellent touch both due to a rugged shape. The decorative sheet comprises, superposed in the following order, a base layer, a surface layer which is constituted of a cured object obtained from a curable resin composition and has the rugged shape, and a removable thermoplastic resin film.
