Abstract:
An appliqué of the invention comprises a disposable carrier film onto which a release layer and PU inks are printed using layering techniques. The ink layers can be multicoloured and each colour is applied sequentially using a conventional screen-printing method. A back-up, a lacquer layer, and an adhesive layer are printed in sequence over the ink layers. The ink includes reflective particles providing the optical effect of a 3-dimensional appliqué. The artwork is created by overlapping design layers to controlled specification sequences. The ink, because of the additives, creates a desired colour tone, and this may be enhanced by layering of the ink in an overlapping region. Thus, there are three main regions, namely a central region with reflective ink, a “shoulder” region with overlapping matt and reflective inks and an outer region with only matt ink.

Claim (Index 45):
A method of  claim 42 , wherein:\n the action of applying the appliqu\u00e9 includes placing the appliqu\u00e9 onto the article of fabric such that the application adhesive is adjacent the article of fabric and applying heat and pressure to the appliqu\u00e9 so that adhesive of the application adhesive impregnates into fabric of the article of fabric to seal the appliqu\u00e9 in place.
