Abstract:
     A transfer multi-layer material for customized printing of color images with a holographic appearance is described. The transfer recording material comprises a multilayer structure on a carrier forming a plurality of panels. A portion of the multilayer structure corresponding to a panel comprises an embossable layer (holographic layer) wherein each pixel is configured to reflect incoming light at a predetermined angle alpha1. The transfer material is therefore formed by a plurality of spaced-apart panels each of which comprises an embossable holographic layer reflecting light at a predetermined angle different from that of other panels. Upon activation of a surface of a printer head, tinted pixels from different panels transfer onto a substrate, either in a blended or stand-alone fashion, forming a desired color image with a holographic appearance.
