Patent ID: 7562626

Claim:
A method of producing a scratch print product comprising the steps of: providing a transfer-receiving material provided with a print surface on which information is recorded in advance; providing a scratch layer transfer sheet comprising a substrate film, a transferable scratch layer and a transferable protective layer disposed alternatively side by side on one surface of the substrate film, said transferable scratch layer having a multilayer structure disposed on the surface of the substrate film and comprising a pattern layer, which is formed pattern-wise on selected portions of the substrate surface, and a hiding layer, which is formed on portions of the pattern layer and on the substrate surface not covered by the pattern layer, wherein the pattern layer and the hiding layer are transferable to the print surface of the transfer-receiving material and removable from said print surface by scratching after the transferable scratch layer is transferred, and wherein said transferable protective layer has a monolayer or multilayer structure provided with a main protective layer protecting the print surface; overlapping the scratch layer transfer sheet on the transfer-receiving material such that the transferable protective layer of the scratch layer transfer sheet faces the print surface of the transfer-receiving material to transfer said transferable protective layer to the print surface by heating; and overlapping the transferable scratch layer of said scratch layer transfer sheet on the print surface of said transfer-receiving material such that the transferable scratch layer faces the print surface to transfer said transferable scratch layer to the print surface by heating, wherein, when the areas respectively occupied by said pattern layer and said hiding layer are compared with each other, the proportion of the area occupied by the pattern layer (pattern ratio) is in a range from 5 to 85% per 2 cm 2 of the transferred scratch layer.
