IMAGE RECEPTOR MEDIUM AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

An image receptor medium is disclosed as having a base medium, a hot melt layer adjacent to the base medium, and a porous imaging layer. An image may be imparted to the imaging layer, and heat and pressure may then be applied to the image receptor medium. A substantial number of the pores in the porous imaging layer are filled by the material of the hot melt layer, thereby fixing the image. The image receptor medium can be backed with an adhesive/release liner combination or mechanical fasteners to provide securing means or can be left without such means for "drop-in" backlit or other nonadhesive uses.
