Abstract: A method includes moving a multi-color ribbon over a target object. The multi-color ribbon has a lower layer and an upper layer of inks or pigments. The method also includes applying heat and pressure onto the multi-color ribbon to transfer the overlying layers of the inks or pigments to the target object, and removing at least a portion of the lower layer of the ink or pigment that was transferred to the target object to reveal at least a portion of the upper layer of the ink or pigment that were transferred to the target object.

Abstract: Full foil face assemblies and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. The assemblies can be formed by obtaining a first film layer having a maximum thickness that is no greater than 2.0 mils, and applying the first film layer with a reflective or refractive body-containing layer to form a core layer assembly. The reflective or refractive body-containing layer may provide a functional feature and/or decorative feature of a card to be manufactured using the first film layer and the core layer assembly.
