Abstract:
    A retroreflective graphic article comprising a retroreflective base sheet and at least one color layer disposed on the base sheet. The color layer comprises a color agent in a copolymeric binder. The binder comprises the copolymerization product of an olefinic monomer and a second monomer having a pendant carboxyl group. A thermal transfer article comprising a carrier and a color layer releasably adhered on the carrier. The color layer comprises a color agent in a copolymeric binder. The binder comprises the copolymerization product of an olefinic monomer and a second monomer having a pendant carboxyl group. Methods of making graphic articles employing an inventive thermal transfer article are also described.
