                                      APPENDIX                                        
               21.  A method for producing a positive image on a single               
          sheet which comprises, in order:                                            
          a) providing a receiver sheet; and                                          
          b) providing a high peel strength adhesive article, said high               
          peel strength adhesive article comprising a substrate having a              
          release surface and a high peel strength adhesive layer on                  
          said release surface, which high peel strength adhesive layer               
          comprises a thermoplastic resin or resins having a peel                     
          strength of greater than 100 g/inch when adhered to said                    
          receiver sheet;                                                             
          and                                                                         
          c) laminating said high peel strength adhesive layer to the                 
          receiver sheet with pressure at a temperature in the range of               
          from about 60°C to about 120°C; and                                         
          d) peeling apart said substrate and receiver sheet, thereby                 
          transferring the high peel strength adhesive layer to the                   
          receiver sheet; and                                                         
          e) providing an adhesive transfer article comprising a                      
          substrate                                                                   
          having a release surface and an adhesive layer on said release              
          surface, which adhesive layer comprises a thermoplastic resin               
          or resins; and                                                              
          f) laminating said adhesive transfer article via the adhesive               
          layer to the high peel strength adhesive layer on the receiver              
          sheet with pressure at a temperature in the range of from                   
          about                                                                       
          60°C to about 120°C; and                                                    
          g) peeling apart the substrate and the receiver sheet, thereby              
          transferring the adhesive layer from the substrate to the high              
          peel strength adhesive layer on the receiver sheet; and                     

                                          9
