Abstract
Abstract A continuous business sheet or paper-like web carries image transfer means which is supported by a thin plastics film or layer of tough flexible carrier material. The film or layer of carrier material is removably attached to the sheet and may be removed from the sheet before or after use of the transfer material. Thus, when desired, the transfer material is removed from the business sheet by removal of the carrier material and the business sheet is thus freed from the transfer material and from any problems which may be associated therewith.
