Imaged substrate process and articles

摘要

A method for imparting graphics to a substrate comprises imparting an image to an image carrier sheet comprising an image receptive layer disposed on a carrier sheet. A substrate having a microstructured pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on at least a portion of a surface thereof is provided. The image carrier sheet is brought into contact with the adhesive layer of the substrate. Pressure is applied to the image carrier sheet such that one of the carrier sheet and the image receptive layer is adhered to the adhesive layer of the substrate. This method can be utilized for substrates that cannot be easily imaged directly by using, e.g., a conventional ink jet or laser printer.
