Abstract
A heat-transferable film and a method for providing a tick pattern on a film-decorated substrate is provided. The heat-transferable film comprises (1) a transfer layer in facing engagement with a substrate having a first gloss level, at least one color, and a heat-activatable adhesive layer; (2) a plurality of individual spaced-apart markings, the markings having a color different from the color or colors within the transfer layer and a second gloss level different from the first gloss level, the markings adhered to the top of the transfer layer; and (3) a carrier sheet adhered to the top of the individual spaced-apart markings. Heat and pressure are applied to the top of the carrier sheet such that the heat-activatable adhesive affixes the heat-transferable film to the substrate. The individual spaced-apart markings are split along a plane generally parallel to that of the film by stripping the carrier sheet from the film, whereby a first portion of the each marking remains adhered to the carrier sheet after removal and a second portion of each marking remains adhered to the transfer layer, the second portion of each marking thereby forming a tick pattern.
