<p>A toner image carrying thermoplastic layer (10) on a receiving sheet (1) is texturized from the back side of the sheet by positioning the sheet between a smooth hard surface (42) and a texturizing surface (60; 70) with the texturizing surface contacting the back side. The thermoplastic layer is softened by heat and becomes texturized without embossing the back side. A curl preventing layer (8) on the back side is not embossed because it has a melting point above the temperature of the process. A glossy-textured print can be produced this way. The process is expecially useful in making multicolor prints of photographic quality.</p> |
