Abstract
An alignment and transfer device for transferring selected indicia from a backing sheet to a substrate which includes a slide movable along a track. A protector sheet with a release agent is secured to the track. A grid transfer sheet is attached to the slide and has a low-tack adhesive on its underside. Indicia are temporarily transferred to the underside of the grid sheet by applying manual pressure through the grid transfer sheet as by a burnishing operation. As composition proceeds, the slide is progressively moved to place transferred indicia in registry with the protector sheet to prevent damage or inadvertent adherence of the indicia. Once the composition is completed, the slide and grid sheet are desengaged from the track and moved so that the indicia may be permanently transferred to the substrate at the substrate location.
