A method for forming an optical tape for data storage from a substrate film includes a step of patterning a curable liquid composition onto a side of the substrate film. Characteristically, the curable liquid composition includes a cationic photoinitiator and a polymerizable component selected from the group consisting of vinyl ethers, cyclohexene oxides, glycidyl ether epoxides, and combinations thereof. The curable liquid composition is illuminated with actinic radiation to form a patterned imprint layer disposed over the substrate film. A multilayer data recording assembly is placed over imprint layer. An optical tape made by the method is also provided. |
