The invention relates to a method for producing on a flexible film reflecting images which can be hot-transferred to a plurality of different materials, the method comprising a first processing step in which a polyester film is processed by a thermoplastic resin in a aromatic solution, a second processing step in which on the film are deposited a plurality of glass beads, in an adjoining relationship, a resin priming processing step for allowing the glass beads to be properly retained in place, a processing step of using a vinylchloride-vinylacetate-aromatic solvent solution with an addition of a metal powder having high mirror-like properties in order to allow the glass beads to refract the light, and a color printing step for printing any desired colors on desired regions, as well as a further leveling processing step for the images, and a final processing step of using a thermo-transfering solution in order to allow the printed images to be transferred under temperature and pressure.
A method for producing on a flexible film reflecting images that can be hot transferred to a different material, said method comprising:
