<p>A process for laminating an ink jet print comprising: a) providing an ink jet print comprising a support having thereon an ink jet image; b) contacting the imaged surface of the ink jet print with a transfer laminating element to form a composite, the transfer laminating element comprising a flexible, polymeric support having thereon a porous, fusible, transferable protection layer comprising fusible, thermoplastic polymeric particles in a polymeric binder, the protection layer having a thickness of between 2 and 100 mu m and a particle-to-binder ratio of between 95:5 and 70:30, the thermoplastic polymeric particles having a particle size of less than 10 mu m and a Tm or softening point of greater than 50 DEG C. and the polymeric binder having a Tg of less than 20 DEG C.; c) applying heat and pressure to the composite to fuse the porous, fusible, transferable protection layer to form a substantially continuous protection layer; d) allowing the composite to cool; and e) peeling the flexible, polymeric support of the transfer laminating element from the composite to form the laminated ink jet print.</p> |
