A method of making a retroreflective article, wherein the retroreflective article comprises a light transmissive support layer 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 , 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 , 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 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 has a first index of refraction, wherein the second light transmissive polymeric layer 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 and the second light transmissive polymeric layer 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 , 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 , 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 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 has a first index of refraction, wherein the second light transmissive polymeric layer 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 and the second light transmissive polymeric layer in the composite cube-corner elements divert retroreflected light to higher observation angles than in monolithic cube-corner elements of comparable geometry and materials. <EOS>
