Decal
A decal (IPA pronunciation: ) or transfer is a plasticcloth paper or ceramic substrate that has printed on it a pattern that can be moved to another surface upon contact, usually with the aid of heat or water. The word is short for "decalcomania." The word Decalcomania is derived from the French word "decalquer" (pronounced DEE-CALK), and was coined by Simon François Ravenet about 1750. The "mania" was added during the Decal craze of the late 1800's.
