The inclusion of a larger amount Common plasticizer is disadvantageous, as already shown above, because it is the cover layer would permanently soften. One of the consequences of this would be that an undesired bleeding of the covered lettering or even bleeding would occur. When writing on such a transfer layer with ink would expire.
