Abstract
A transfer foil comprising a support with a thickness equal to or lower than 75 .mu.m and, directly adjacent to the support, an image receiving layer with a polymeric binder and having thickness d, a cohesive force F.sub.coh and adhering to the support with a force F.sub.rel characterised in that F.sub.rel >F.sub.coh. Preferably between the support and the image receiving layer a release layer is present. The cohesive force of the image receiving layer is controlled by adding a 'promotor for cohesive break' to the layer. Such a promotor is selected from the group consisting of spacing particles with an average volume diameter d.sub.v50 >0.9d, waxes, polymers, different from the polymeric binder and cross-linking agents for the polymeric binder.
