Abstract
Process of decorating an article having a substantially transparent surface portion, wherein a decorative design formed of sublimable coloring agents contained on a support is transferred into an opaque monolayer contrast sheet. The opaque monolayer contrast sheet is adhered to the surface portion to form a surface portion/contrast sheet complex having a joint therebetween. This complex is assembled to the remainder of the article to be decorated by applying heat for a period of time sufficient to adhere the complex to the article and to achieve further sublimation and migration of the coloring agents from the opaque monolayer contrast sheet into the joint.
