A method of making a retroreflective article, wherein the retroreflective article comprises a light transmissive support layer (421, 521, 621, 921) having generally opposed first and second major surfaces or a body layer having generally opposed first and second major surfaces, the method comprising: providing a molding tool having a microstructured surface including a plurality of cube-corner cavities, wherein each cube-corner element comprises an apex and a base opposite the apex; applying a first radiation curable resin to a portion of the cube-corner cavities in a desired pattern to form a first light transmissive polymeric layer (30, 430, 930), partially filling a portion of the cube-corner cavities forming partially filled cube corner cavities such that the first light transmissive polymer comprises the apex of each composite cube-corner element, and unfilled cube-corner cavities; contacting the partially filled cube corner cavities and unfilled cube-corner cavities with a second radiation curable resin to form a second light transmissive polymeric layer (32, 432, 932), wherein the second radiation curable resin is different from the first radiation curable resin, forming a composite; exposing the composite to an irradiation source to provide composite cube-corners (35, 422, 635, 912) and monolithic cube-corners on the surface of the molding tool; and separating the composite cube-corners and monolithic cube-corners from the surface of the molding tool, wherein the first light transmissive polymeric layer (30, 430, 930) has a first index of refraction, wherein the second light transmissive polymeric layer (32, 432, 932) has a second index of refraction, wherein the first and second indices of refraction have an absolute difference of at least 0.0002, and wherein each of the composite cube-corner elements comprises up to 95% by volume of the second light transmissive polymeric layer, such that the first light transmissive polymeric layer (30, 430, 930) and the second light transmissive polymeric layer (32, 432, 932) in the composite cube-corner elements divert retroreflected light to higher observation angles than in monolithic cube-corner elements of comparable geometry and materials. providing a molding tool having a microstructured surface including a plurality of cube-corner cavities, wherein each cube-corner element comprises an apex and a base opposite the apex; applying a first radiation curable resin to a portion of the cube-corner cavities in a desired pattern to form a first light transmissive polymeric layer (30, 430, 930), partially filling a portion of the cube-corner cavities forming partially filled cube corner cavities such that the first light transmissive polymer comprises the apex of each composite cube-corner element, and unfilled cube-corner cavities; contacting the partially filled cube corner cavities and unfilled cube-corner cavities with a second radiation curable resin to form a second light transmissive polymeric layer (32, 432, 932), wherein the second radiation curable resin is different from the first radiation curable resin, forming a composite; exposing the composite to an irradiation source to provide composite cube-corners (35, 422, 635, 912) and monolithic cube-corners on the surface of the molding tool; and separating the composite cube-corners and monolithic cube-corners from the surface of the molding tool, wherein the first light transmissive polymeric layer (30, 430, 930) has a first index of refraction, wherein the second light transmissive polymeric layer (32, 432, 932) has a second index of refraction, wherein the first and second indices of refraction have an absolute difference of at least 0.0002, and wherein each of the composite cube-corner elements comprises up to 95% by volume of the second light transmissive polymeric layer, such that the first light transmissive polymeric layer (30, 430, 930) and the second light transmissive polymeric layer (32, 432, 932) in the composite cube-corner elements divert retroreflected light to higher observation angles than in monolithic cube-corner elements of comparable geometry and materials.
