Abstract
Abstract A pressure-sensitive transfer sheet, includes a carrier sheet having at least one surface portion, a substrate disposed on the surface portion and a transfer layer disposed on the substrate. The substrate includes two chemical compositions which react together under pressure contact in order to change the color of one and the transfer layer transfers by pressure the new color to an object.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A pressure-sensitive transfer sheet which can be handled in clean manner, consisting essentially of: (1) a carrier sheet; (2) a color-changing substrate on one side thereof comprising an acid component and, separated therefrom but in juxtaposition thereto, an acid activable dye component, and (3) a wax coating overlying said substrate, said wax being selected from the group consisting of carnauba wax, amide wax, polyethylene wax, hard wax, micro-wax, ceresine wax, ozocerite, and mixtures thereof.
