Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a transfer sheet, comprising: forming a first sheet by the steps of: providing a first release layer laminated on top of a first substrate layer, laminating a resin layer on top of said first release layer, laminating a porous resin layer on top of said resin layer, forming a colored ink or resin toner layer on said porous resin layer by laser printing mirror images of desired images with at least one colored ink or resin toner material, and forming a transparent ink or resin toner layer on said porous resin layer and said colored ink or resin toner layer by ink jet printing a transparent ink or resin toner material; arranging a second sheet comprising a second release layer laminated on top of a second substrate layer, an adhesive layer laminated on top of said second release layer, and a white porous resin layer laminated on top of said adhesive layer; superimposing said second sheet onto said first sheet such that said white porous resin layer of said second sheet contacts at least one of said colored ink or resin toner layer of said first sheet and said transparent ink or resin toner layer of said first sheet; heating and pressing said first sheet and said second sheet which have been superimposed; and separating and removing said second sheet from said first sheet such that said white porous resin layer and said adhesive layer remain partly adhered to at least one of said colored ink or resin toner layer of said first sheet and said transparent ink or resin toner layer of said first sheet, and are separated from said second release layer of said second sheet, so as to produce said transfer sheet including said first sheet, said white porous resin layer and said adhesive layer.
