PURPOSE:To prevent a protective layer from flowing or being needlessly deformed and prevent the gloss of a thin metallic film layer from being lowered after transfer, by providing the protective layer by use of an inonizing radiation- curable resin which is solid at normal temperature in an uncured state and is thermoplastic, and setting the protective layer in a half-cured state. CONSTITUTION:A transfer sheet comprises a protective layer and at least a thin metallic film layer provided sequentially on a releasable side of a releasable sheet. The protective layer, for protecting the layer therebeneath after transfer, comprises a half-cured layer of an ionizing radiation-curable resin which is solid at normal temperature in an uncured state and is thermoplastic. Since the protective layer of the transfer sheet is preliminarily half-cured, the layer has high heat resistance, and is prevented from flowing by being melted by the heat at the time of transferring, with the result of affecting the thin metallic film layer to lose the metallic luster. In addition, since the protective layer is not completely cured, it retains transferability to a rugged surface, and can be cured after the transferring. |
