1. A decorative transfer apparatus, comprising:
a carrier sheet; and
a decorative transfer on one side of the carrier sheet;
the decorative transfer formed from a pigment-based material that is applied to said side of the carrier sheet and then cured after being applied to the carrier sheet;
the pigment-based material comprising a material that reactivates after it is cured by only requiring contact with an uncured transfer medium on an intended transfer surface, and wherein the decorative transfer is thereby transferred to the intended transfer surface when the decorative transfer contacts the uncured transfer medium on the intended transfer surface.
