Abstract: An improved ink jet recording transparency is described herein which is capable of absorbing colored, aqueous-miscible inks to provide very high density images which are permanent and smear resistant. This transparency article includes a transparent resinous support and an improved coating which is clear and comprises a mixture of a carboxylated polymer or copolymer, having a molecular weight of about 50,000 to 1 million, and a polyalkylene glycol having an average molecular weight of about 5,000 to 25,000, preferably 15,000 to 25,000, the glycol being present in an amount of about 5% to 70%, preferably 10% to 25%, by weight of said polymer.

Abstract: A novel and useful ink jet recording transparency is described herein which is capable of wetting and absorbing colored, water soluble inks to provide permanent, high density images which are smear resistant. The transparency article of the invention includes a transparent resinous support which has a defined coating thereon. The coating is clear and consists essentially of a carboxylated, high molecular weight polymer or copolymer, or salts thereof, and, optionally, a pigment which is a particulate material. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein high density images may be formed on a coated transparency from multiple jets of different colored inks which absorb such inks rapidly, the coating includes a carboxylated acrylic polymer which has been reacted with an organic amine.

Abstract: A latent image is electrographically generated onto a dielectric record member from an energized electrode in close proximity with the dielectric layer of the member, and which image, if desired, may be readily developed and fixed. The system is particularly characterized in that the dielectric record member is a clear transparent, flexible film, which is made up of a resin film base, a conductive layer on the base, and a dielectric layer thereon. The dielectric layer has a thickness of about 1.4-10 micrometers. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the dielectrtic layer includes an anti-blocking material which enables the film member to be unrolled from a roll holder and transported at a controlled rate uniformly and rapidly across an energized electrode so that a sufficient amount of charge can be transferred from the electrode to the film to provide a high contrast image.

Abstract: Electroreprographic films comprising a support member which are capable of acquiring an electrostatic charge which on passing through a toner bath pick up unwanted toner outside the image area which is not fixed during development. The unwanted toner pick up is minimized by applying a layer of anti-static material to the otherwise uncoated back of the support.

Abstract: Dielectric films comprising a support member which is capable of acquiring an electrostatic charge on passing through toner pick up toner randomly which is not fixed during development. The unwanted toner pick up is minimized by applying a coat of anti-static material and/or a toner fixing resin to the uncoated back of the support. The present invention improves blocking characteristics of dielectric film by modifying the surface by means of adding particulate materials to the final coat on one or both surfaces of the support.

Abstract: Electrostatically imageable drafting film which comprises a plastic, impermeable, non-conductive, actinically transparent film support coated first with a conductive layer which is then overcoated by a dielectric composition comprising a suitable toothing pigment and a binder resin.

Abstract: An improved dielectric imaging member comprising a transparent dielectric substrate having a thickness of between about 75 - 175 micrometers, a conductive layer on said substrate and a dielectric material having a thickness of less than about 15 micrometers on said conductive layer. An imaging process is also provided comprising generating an electrostatic latent image on said dielectric imaging member and developing said image by contact with a developer material.
