A print medium including a heat-sealable layer

摘要

A print medium (2) having a heat-sealable layer (8) comprised of a first component and a second component. The first component and the second component have different particle sizes and different glass transition temperatures. A method of producing the print medium (2) is also disclosed. The print medium (2) is used to produce a photographic-quality image by applying inkjet ink (10) to the print medium (2). The heat-sealable layer (8) of the print medium (2) is sealed by exposing the layer to a temperature above the glass transition temperatures of the two components. An inkjet printer (12) used to apply inkjet ink (10) to the print medium (2) may include a radiant heater (14). <IMAGE>
