A strippable graphic formed by non-strippable ink is provided which allows for easy removing of the graphic by application of certain stripping substances. The method of providing such an graphic includes printing an image comprising non-strippable ink onto an image-receiving substrate, printing a stratum of strippable ink onto the image, applying a first side of an adhesive layer onto the stratum, contacting a second side of the adhesive layer to the surface, and removing the image-receiving substrate to leave the image and stratum bonded to the surface. Application of a non-strippable ink in a strippable form allows for certain high definition images to be applied over, and removed from, sensitive surfaces such as other images without damage to such sensitive surfaces.
