A device and method for transferring an image-forming layer from a transfer foil to a printing sheet is provided. The device includes an application unit for coating an image area of the printing sheet with an adhesive pattern that is colored and a coating module for transferring the image-forming layer from the transfer foil to the printing sheet. The image forming layer having a visual effect. The color of the adhesive pattern and the visual effect of the image-forming layer are configured such that the color of the adhesive pattern modifies the visual effect of the image forming layer when the image forming layer is applied to the printing sheet over the adhesive pattern.

Method for applying a film

The aim of the invention is to improve the supply of transfer foil in a coating module in which the image-forming layers of a transfer foil are transferred to a printing material. To achieve this, a partial pressing surface is located in the coating module for transferring the layers of the transfer foil. This permits targeted control of the foil feed. The transfer foil can be fed past a pressure cylinder in an approximately tangential manner and with a limited width.

Embossing device

The present invention provides a device for transferring image-forming layers from a transfer foil to printing sheets. The device includes a coating device for applying the image-forming layer of the transfer foil to an image area on the printing sheet that has been provided with an adhesive patter such that the image-forming layer is separated from a carrier layer of the transfer foil.
