Simulated photographic-quality prints using a transparent substrate containing a wrong reading image and a backing sheet containing an adhesive coating which enhances image optical density and a hydrophilic wetting agent

摘要

Simulated photographic-quality prints are created using non-photographic imaging such as xerography and ink jet. Reverse or wrong reading toner images are formed on a transparent substrate which is adhered to a coated backing sheet. The backing sheet is coated with a polymer material which seves as an adhesive and has a glass transition temperature less than 55 DEG C. A hydrophilic polymer coating having a melting point greater than 50 DEG C. contacting the adhesive polymer serves as a wetting agent for providing an enhanced optical interface as well as protection for the adhesive polymer which has a lower melting point than the adhesive polymer.
