Abstract
A dry transfer article comprising a carrier film bearing a graphic design in the form of one or more layers of ink and an actinic radiation responsive adhesive overlapping the design, the ink serving as a mask to actinic radiation such that only adhesive in non-ink areas is exposed to radiation creating a differential adhesive tack which allows the article to be positioned on the substrate and the carrier film and exposed adhesive to be selectively removed leaving the graphic design and underlying unexposed adhesive bonded to the substrate.
