<p>A novel process is disclosed for the manufacture of protected, distortion-free, full-color electrographic images for use on large format posters, billboards and the like. A novel electrographic element (10) is also disclosed which includes a base (11), a release layer (15) and a combined dielectric and heat activated adhesive layer (16) which is substantially tack-free at ambient pressure and temperature. The novel electrographic imaging process includes the steps of: A) producing a toned image layer on the surface of the electrographic element (10) and B) pressure laminating the receptor substrate (50) at an elevated temperature to the toned image layer to form the completed electrographic image. Optionally, the base (11) and release layer (15) are stripped from the dielectric/adhesive layer (16) which then serves to protect the transferred, toned, electrographically generated image from abrasion and environmental contaminants.</p> |
